The popular Eagle Cook-Off drew an audience of more than 50 to watch five teams prepare, serve and describe a meal for a panel of judges.

Stevens High School, Rapid City, South Dakota, claimed its eighth consecutive championship in Division I, the group comprised of the schools with the largest enrollments.

Sidney High School, Sidney, Neb., repeated as the winner of Division II while St. Thomas More High School, Rapid City, S.D., won Division III. West Holt High School, Atkinson, Neb., won Division IV and Sioux County High School, Harrison, Neb., won Division V.

Each senior who won first place in a contest receives a CSC Scholastic Achievement Award, a waiver of the in-state portion of tuition for the fall and spring semesters of the 2015-2016 academic year.

Medals will be awarded to the top three places in each test. Certificates of Merit will be awarded to those finishing in the top 25 percent of each test, and a plaque will be presented to the top school of each of the five divisions. All awards will be mailed to winners next week.
