CHADRON – Students from 45 high schools in Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming participated in more than 40 tests during the 56th annual Scholastic Contest at Chadron State College Friday.

More than 1,400 students registered to take tests in a wide range of subjects including business law, human development and family life, Nebraska history, psychology and wildlife ecology and management.

The popular Eagle Cook-Off drew a large audience to watch teams prepare, serve and describe the ingredients, nutritional content and cost of their meals for a panel of judges.

Stevens High School of Rapid City, South Dakota, claimed its ninth consecutive championship in Division I, the group comprised of schools with the largest enrollments. Gering placed second and Scottsbluff was third.

In Division II, Sidney repeated as the winner and Alliance finished in second place.

Chadron High placed first in Division III, followed by St. Thomas More and Bridgeport.

West Holt High School placed first in Division IV. Rapid City Christian claimed second place and Anselmo-Merna finished in third place.

The Division V winner was Hyannis, followed by Cody-Kilgore.

Contest results can be viewed at csc.edu/scholastic.

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 2016-2017 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.
