Just Write State Results

Houston students competed against 382 writers in three 45-minute sessions, during which students were given a prompt and a genre. Despite the fierce competition, each Houston competitor placed in the top three in at least one round. Below is a list of the highest rankings earned by each of our students:

Lylah Kennedy – 1 & 2
Ryleigh Hughes – 2, 3
Cadence DeLong – 2
Bera Sliter – 2, 3
Kayson Hines – 2
Malaya Gross – 3
Lilly Detrick – 3
Bentleigh Willingham – 3
Claire Holscher – 3
Teagan Rauch – 3

Special thanks to Lacey Naseman for volunteering as a runner and Bre Smith (Bentleigh’s mom) for volunteering in the STAR room.
