Last year’s runner-up takes Geography Bee

Congratulations to Joaquin, an eighth-grader who was runner-up in last year’s Geography Bee and took the title this year.

He prevailed over fellow eighth-grader Ishan, as their championship round required five questions to resolve. In the end, Joaquin correctly identified “Benin” in response to a question about West Africa.

Other competitors:

Fourth Grade: Maya and Victoria

Fifth Grade: Cristiano and Vienna

Sixth Grade: Faith and Gabriela

Seventh Grade: Franco and Ajay
