Regional Olympiad of Spoken Russian

Jamie Trost  

Academy Senior

This past Saturday 16 Academy Russian language students participated in the ACTR Illinois/Indiana Regional Olympiad of Spoken Russian held in Burris. The event is sponsored by the University of Chicago, University of Illinois, and Indiana University. Three schools participated – Indiana Academy, Rickover Naval Academy [Chicago], and Noble Street College Preparatory School [Chicago]. Four levels of participation were involved: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and Native Speaker. On behalf of these students and our excellent Russian Instructor Mrs. Rogers, I forward the results. The Academy gathered the most gold medals. Congratulations!

Kalah Gallapoo [Level 2] was the grand prize winner receiving the most points from all 32 participants.
