Archmere's twelfth graders tied for fourteenth place in the nation.
Students at the school who achieved outstanding individual results in the meet included juniors Alex Lu and Aislin Smeader and seniors Bailey Larmore, Gabrielle Hogan, Lauren Simpson, and Lauren Wilson. Archmere English Teacher Stephen Klinge supervised the students.
