The Lakeview Literary Team won the Class A State Championship on Saturday in Warner Robins. Under stiff competition from over 20 other schools statewide in our classification, our team won 1st and 2nd place in every event we entered. Our two individual state champions are Jarrod Beck in Dramatic Interpretation and Reid Atherton in Boy’s Solo. Earning 2nd place in the state were Sahara Calderhead in Girl’s Solo, Mac Sims in Extemporaneous Speaking and Walker Adams, Reid Atherton, Geoffrey Cole and Kyle Lewis in Boy’s Quartet. These wonderful and talented students worked months to prepare with their coaches and this hard work and effort paid off tremendously.
Since 2002, the Lakeview Literary Team has won 7 State Class A titles and 3 State Runner-Up titles. This certainly isn’t because it is easy or because there is not much competition. On the contrary, it is tremendously difficult to earn a State Championship in Literary. We are so proud of our students who continue to be successful and to carry on our winning tradition here at Lakeview.
