Much success at UVA Classics Day
On Saturday, March 18, Wakefield Country Day School students attended UVA Classics Day, hosted by the UVA Classics Club. Eleven WCDS students made the trip to Charlottesville where teams of Latin students from around the state gathered for a day of competition and education in the Classics. Students enjoyed competing in the Certamen (Quiz Bowl) event as well as hearing lectures and taking part in Classics themed activities. The Level I team, Alex Diehl, Lincoln Day, Anika Pruntel, and Lia Feit, came in 1st place in a tightly-contested finals round. The Level I Advanced team (for students in their second year of a two-part Latin I course), Peter McMahon and Eric Schuster, placed 3rd. An additional team of Beatrice Youngquist, Beverly Eborn, and Liza Dareing had a strong showing in the preliminary rounds but did not advance to finals.
The next event of the year will take place in Boyce on April 1.
