ALHS advances to Academic Challenge finals
During this week’s semifinal broadcast of the Scholastic Games radio quiz show on WEOL (AM930 and FM 100.3), Avon Lake High School defeated Vermilion to advance to the program’s 34th County Championship. Avon Lake will face the winner of next week’s semifinal between Elyria High School and Amherst Steele.
Team members include Madeline Waggoner, Alex Chmiel, and team captain Dylan Missal, who won the program’s “Standout Scholar Award.” The “Standout Scholar” is the student who contributed the most to his or her team as determined by scorekeepers. It includes a $50 prize each time it is awarded. It was Dylan’s second award this year, which he also won once in 2023, placing him on the program’s all-time “Honor Roll.” Alex also won the award in the team’s first competition this year.
The championship will air May 20 from 5 to 6 p.m. on the radio station (it will repeat at 10:05 a.m. May 25). Congratulations and good luck.
Scholastic Games began in the fall of 1990 with the support of Nordson Corporation and has continued on radio station WEOL during every school year since. The format, originally developed for a Cleveland program in the 1980s, has changed little in the run of the show, though the questions are continually updated with increased emphasis on STEM subjects in recent years. Scholastic Games is the longest continuously running program of its type in the region, and its focus on greater Lorain County has provided maximum opportunities for local students to compete.
Avon Lake has won the annual championship three times in the history of the program (2001, 2005, 2020).
