New London students compete in state finals

New London High School sophomores Wyatt Adamovich and Jack Kedinger will compete Friday, May 13, in the Wisconsin Newspaper Association Foundation’s Civics Games finals.

More than 150 students from 29 schools faced off in head-to-head regional competitions to answer questions about the state budget, local elections, legislative term limits, quorums and other civics-related issues. Four regional competitions were held virtually via Zoom.

The top three scoring teams from each region advance to the state championships on May 13 in Room 411 South of the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison.

Each member of the state championship winning team will be awarded a $2,000 scholarship to a Wisconsin college or university.

The Games will begin at 9 a.m. and be live streamed by WisconsinEye at WisEye.org/live
