Calloway County Middle School's science bowl team finished 17th in the nation in the National Science Bowl competition in Washington, D.C., April 24th-28th.

The Lakers represented the state of Kentucky against 46 other teams from around the United States. They achieved this honor after winning the US Department of Energy Regional Science Bowl earlier in February. They competed in multi-day events that included a quick recall style competition and a cyber computer challenge.  In the quick recall competition, the CCMS team played through the pool play round and qualified for the double elimination portion of the tournament.

The Lakers also had the opportunity to spend a day in the National Mall, where they visited Smithsonian Museums, The Library of Congress, and various monuments.  The team consisted of (L to R) Kyler Myers, Ava Bogard, Abby Rekow, Theodore Perlow, Collin Naber, and Coach Scott Pile.
