Fairview High School Knowledge Bowl takes 3rd at State 5A

 

Fairview Takes 3rd in 5A, 5th Overall in State Knowledge Bowl Finals

 

April 17th and 18th, Colorado Springs

 

Fairview High School competed in the 31st Colorado State Knowledge Bowl Championship at Colorado College. Over the course of two days, the Knowledge Bowl

team competed in two written rounds and seven oral rounds, and ended up earning 3rd place in the 5A division and 5th overall in Colorado out of 53 schools (1A-5A)

 

Fairview, along with Summit High School (located in Summit County), qualified at the Metro Denver League regional tournament in early March to advance to the state competition in Colorado Springs.

 

Though Fairview edged out Palisade High by one point to qualify for the 5A championship, Fairview finished one point shy of qualifying for the state championship round. 

 

In the Class 5A championship, Fairview faced long-time rivals, including Grand Junction High School and Fossil Ridge High School (Fort Collins) in the Class 5A Championship, edging out Grand Junction by one point, but trailing Fossil Ridge by 11. The cumulative final score was Grand Junction in first with an impressive 238, Fossil Ridge in second with 212_, and Fairview trailing Fossil Ridge by 15 with a score of 197.

 

Although several of Fairview’s team members are departing for college in the fall, many of their players will continue to compete. Though the loss of senior players will make 2015 competition more difficult, Fairview is not giving up anytime soon.
