Marc Western, gold medalist, Elizabeth McAbee, silver, and Darrin Anderson and Brady O’Boyle, bronze, took the online test in December. The students were coached by Jim Westcot, Latin teacher.
This past fall all of Westcot’s classes studied etymology, a study of the roots and derivation of words as they have come into the English language.
Other participants included Cierra Houglum, Kyle Pchney, Asheton Casey, Chase Crist, Haleigh Dilleshaw, Ansley Gilreath, Natalie Lampinen, Kati Weaver, Alexander Williams and Dylan Wynn.
