For the seventh time in nine years, University High School’s Science Bowl team won the regional competition held at Univeristy of California, Los Angeles! The team went undefeated throughout the day, demonstrating their incredible knowledge, teamwork and dedication.
With this victory, the Uni team earned a spot in the national competition, which will take place in Washington, D.C. at the end of April. This is the team's fourth consecutive trip to the finals—an impressive record given the high level of competition among not only public schools but also private schools in the region.
An Exciting Competition Match
