McKinley Wins K-3 at Discovery World

McKinley and Whitman take K3, K12 at Discovery World!

The McKinley K-3 team took 1st place at Discovery World yesterday, beating several teams including German Immersion school who had 15 kids on their team.  We are playing at their school this Saturday!

Playing for the winning K-3 team was:
  • Owen Ludwig
  • Will Dee
  • Priscilla Skyberg-Greer
  • Ed Woznick
  • Pete Deutsch
  • Sam Riordan
  • Anthony Boettcher
  • Stella Albert
Owen, Will and Priscilla each won 4 out of their 5 games (with Will and Owen getting trophies).  Ed Woznick contributed 3 wins to the winning score, and Pete, Sam and Anthony each added wins to help the team.  The future is bright for the McKinley Chess Club!

In the K-5 division, McKinley took 3rd place in a crowded field.  Marissa Brunow took the 3rd place individual trophy with her 4/5 wins.  Sawyer Hanson, Ben Ludwig, Owen Schroeder, and Katelyn Mast rounded out the team. 

Ex McKinley kids won the K-12 section, with Max Kuhn taking 5th place individual.

Great practice for State!
