CONGRATULATIONS to our ECON National Champions!
"Mt. Hebron’s two economics teams achieved a historic fourth sweep of both competitive divisions in the National Economics Challenge national championships!
For the fourth time in six years, Mt. Hebron High School's two Economics teams swept the national championships in both the upper and lower divisions of the National Economics Challenge. This was Mt. Hebron's eighth and ninth cumulative national championships in the country's premier competition in academic economics.
Here's the victory interview with our AS boys: https://www.cnbc.com/video/2024/06/03/national-economics-challenge-winners-announced.html
In the lower David Ricardo division, after performing in the top four in the initial Critical Thinking Round (CTR), Mt. Hebron sophomores Joseph Jeong, Aarush Kejriwal, Vishva Rao, and Gabe Venginickal won in a dominant but close-run match.
In the upper Adam Smith division, after dominating their CTR round, the superbly capable Viking seniors Praneeth Idamakanti, Nandhu Pillai, Diego Salamanca Murphy, and junior Mehin Pandya defeated some of America's elite schools in a tense battle that went nearly to the last question.
Both teams also trounced the champion teams from China in the follow-on international championships, making them simultaneously national and world champions for the seventh time.
No other team has ever swept the competition; Mt. Hebron's has swept four. Also, Mt. Hebron's legacy of nine national championship victories far outstrips any other school in the competition's 22-year history.
Mt. Hebron's economic team has now won a cumulative 21 Maryland state championships, competed in 14 national finals appearances, and has taken a total of nine national championships.
CNBC live-streamed the winner-take-all final rounds on Monday. The full-length video link is here. It is in real-time, so please feel free to skip forward to the important bits. Both competitions are entertaining, and Steve Liesman's interview with our boys paid tribute to MHHS.
