Stoneman Douglas Wins 2003 National Convention in Atlanta; FL Schools Take 10 Of Top 12 Sweepstakes Places

The 2003 Mu Alpha Theta National Convention took place July 20 - 25 in Atlanta, GA, at the Emory Conference Center Hotel. Stoneman Douglas HS in Parkland once again took first place at the national convention, as they've done in 1996, 2000, and 2002. Vestavia Hills HS in AL came in second place, followed by Lincoln HS in Tallahassee, JP Taravella HS in Coral Springs, and Rickards HS in Tallahassee. Sweepstakes, division, individual, and ciphering test results can be viewed here. Topic test results by round: Round 1 Round 2 Round 3. Special events can be viewed here. Email corrections or spelling errors to the Mu's News editor.

Results From Previous Years Posted

Due to the closing of the former Mu's News site run by Jeff Miller of Gulf HS in New Port Richey, FL, Mu's News has obtained the results that had been posted on that site and has reposted them on this site. Also included is a new page of results from the January 1998 regionals. See the bottom of this page for the links. Mu's News would like to thank Mr. Miller for all his assistance this year. Without Mr. Miller's incredible assistance, I never would have been able to run this site this year.
