Ridgecrest Elementary chess players |
On April 20, the Clark County Fair Grounds in Ridgefield, near Vancouver, WA, was host to 935 students from around the state for the 2013 Washington State Elementary Chess Championships.
Participating from Ridgecrest were:
- 3rd graders Ronin Crawford and Chase Tuttle;
- 4th graders Quirin Fish, Andrew Harness, Jared Huang, Ben Silber, and Jared Yost;
- 5th graders Marcus Fletcher, Karen Haining, and Ethan Huang; and
- 6th grader Emma Silber.
Winners of individual awards |
Hats off to Jared Huang for winning 10th place overall in the 4th grade tournament, and to Emma Silber for winning 14th place overall in the 6th grade tournament!
As for team awards, the 3rd graders played well, but did not have enough participants to win a team award in the K-3 section this year.
We can, however, give a hearty cheer to our participants in grades 4-6 for winning the 7th place team award in the 4th grade to 6th grade team competition.
