Latin League Teams Earn Round Two Wins

Congratulations to the Middle and Upper School Latin Leagues for a successful round of competition.

Latin League, an online national competition similar to Junior Classical League, runs monthly from October through February. Students have 45 minutes to answer 100 multiple-choice questions covering Latin grammar, vocabulary, derivatives, mythology, reading comprehension, and special topics. Top-scoring teams advance to super-regional rounds in March and national finals in April.

Last month, our Middle and Upper School teams competed in the second round.

MIDDLE SCHOOL
Our four Middle School teams made a strong comeback from round 1.

Greenhill Varsity Purple (comprised of Max Carona ’30, Beck Fuller ’30, Aarna Gandhi ’31, Eric Guo ’30, Alex Loomis ’31, and Zayla Yousuf ’30) and Greenhill Varsity Gold (comprised of Vihaan Kumbhani ’31, Anay Patel ’31, Arjun Shah ’31, Brett Slavinsky ’31, and Vikram Thoduguli ’31) faced each other in this round, with Purple winning by a score of 65–56.

Greenhill JV Purple (comprised of Emilia Gummelt ’32, Charlotte Perel ’32, Mia Weinstein ’32, and Hannah White ’32) beat Fort Worth Country Day MS by a score of 47-45.

Greenhill JV Gold (comprised of Dhruv Chaturvedi ’32, Jack McCutchen ’32, Adam Samnani ’32, Vikram Sule ’32, and Henry Will ’32) beat Summit MS in Indiana by a score of 56-44.

UPPER SCHOOL
The Upper School team (comprised of Evan Huang '29, Tomal Khan '28, Izzy Shiloh '27, and Renee Tse '28) won their round against St. Mark's Gold by a score of 72-65, putting them at 2-0 for the year! This was the highest score in the Central I division and the third in the entire Central region, behind only St. John's and St. Andrew's in Austin, both traditionally strong schools in these kinds of competitions.

Congratulations and good luck in Round 3!
