Among their achievements, Matthew Medina clinched the title of UIL Regional Champion in Calculator Applications, leading the charge for his team. Samuel Saucedo secured 6th place, closely followed by April Ruiz in 9th place and Malaya Porras in 17th place in the Calculator Applications category. With their dedication and skill, they've earned their spot among the top five schools in the state, setting the stage for an exciting showdown at the state level.
“We are going to keep the momentum up and our team will continue to work hard to do the best they can at the state competition,” said Coach Medina. “We are excited to go up against the state’s best competitors and show them what a talented and dedicated group of kids we have here in Canutillo.”
