Students participate in practice meet

By Sandy Morris

Albany High School UIL students are making up for lost time due to last week’s winter weather and school closure and working to submit their entries to the Holliday High School virtual academic meet. 

Originally, all entries were to be received last week but the wide-spread frigid weather pushed back the submission deadline to midnight on Thursday, Feb. 25. 

AHS academic director Rick Davis said that sponsors were working with schedules to get all entries submitted. 

“We have many of the spring sports starting up this week, and it’s a challenge to find time for the kids to participate,” said Davis. “But we are trying, and I think everything will work out fine. We actually have more time to get the written work in and submitted.”

Students participating in Calculator Skills are Sarah Cotter and Morgan Garcia; Mathematics – Luke Ivy, Hannah Trail, Sidney Bartee, Paige Picquet, Clara Holson, Robyn Trail, Garcia, and Cotter; Number Sense – Ivy, Garcia, Chey’anne Weaver, and Carli Edgar; Current Issues and Events – William Webb, Jackson Chapman, Corbin Roberts, and Ella Webb; Science – Ivy, Bartee, Picquet, Holson, H. Trail, and Jaden Bean; Social Studies – Taren Farmer, Michael Sadler, Brooks Neece, and Ryan Mark; Spelling and Vocabulary – Sidney Russell, Brooke Kayga, Trinity McBee, and Robyn Trail; Editorial Writing – Tana Thompson and Susie Cormack; Feature Writing – Cormack, Thompson, and Ty Everitt; News Writing – Thompson, Cotter, Everitt, and Cormack; Headline Writing – Thompson, Ivy and Ashley Richards; Ready Writing – Thompson, Hannah Trail, Picquet, Bean, and Jaci Chapman.

Davis said the district academic meet is scheduled to be face-to-face on Wednesday, March 24 in Stamford.
