Two Teams of Archmere Students Earn Honors at Second WordWright Meet
In this year's second meet of the WordWright Challenge, two teams of Archmere students won high honors. Held in December, the Challenge, a national competition for high school students requiring close reading and analysis of prose and poetry, included 640 school teams from all across the country. Archmere's eleventh graders tied for seventh place in the nation and the twelfth graders tied for tenth place in the nation.
Students who won high individual honors in the meet included juniors Gillen Curren and Adeline Davis (both of whom earned perfect scores), Grace Hogan, Ryan Nowaczyk, Steven Struglia, and Padriac Walsh; and seniors Leah DaCosta and Keelin Reilly (both of whom earned perfect scores), Carla Anderson, Charles Liston, and Olivia O'Dwyer. The students were supervised by Stephen Klinge. More than 64,000 students from 48 states participated in the meet.
The texts for the second WordWright meet this year were a pair of poems by Richard Wilbur and Alastair Reid for 9th and 10th graders, and a short story by Michael Byers for 11th and 12th graders. The students will participate in two more meets over the coming months, and medals and certificates will be awarded in June to those who achieve and/or progress the most in the course of the year.
