Both junior high and high school teams qualified for the event that was held in Warrensburg Saturday, April 18th, 2026. One group went down early to register and find the event rooms. Two other groups went down much earlier than expected due to forecasted weather in Warrensburg. Just as they got there, they had to shelter due to a nearby tornado on the ground. They survived the scare and went on to do well at state.
Once the storm passed, students enjoyed an evening of shopping at Adam’s Dairy Landing or the Bass Pro Shop Friday. They competed in the Olympiad on Saturday while visiting the Central Missouri University campus and attending the Childhood Mental Health Awareness Comicon that was going on at the same time.
The Booster Club provided a meal for each student in attendance. Mr. Hunter Scott, Jeff Dixon, and Josh Hulet got everyone and every device to where they needed to be on time. Mary Burkhead, Rand McMillen, and Bill Pottorff jumped into action and got everyone situated for an early than expected arrival time with the lodging facilities.
The teams are coached by Mrs. Tuanette Hulet and assisted by Mr. Hunter Scott.
