Photo(s) By Shamarie Claiborne, Media Publicity Coordinator News from Adair County School District The Adair County High School Academic Team won the 2015 Governor’s Cup District Championship on Saturday, January 24, for the 10th year in a row. The competition took place at Green County High School, and the Quick Recall team swept through each round of Quick Recall undefeated. In addition, the Future Problem Solving team—a perennial world championship qualifier—swept all judges’ top rankings for 1st Place in their competition. The feat of ten straight District titles engraves Adair County in the record books among few other teams at the high school level. Coach Brett Reliford commented about the accomplishment, "These kids have so much to be proud of, along with the school and past participants who started and continued this streak. They are part of a legacy that has come with a lot of hard work, time, dedication, and trust in each other and trust in their coach that the system works. This was no 10-year fluke." On top of the accomplishment itself, the team has won District by large overall points margins in recent years despite a steady climb across the state in the level of academic competition overall. In fact, Adair is the only school south of Louisville and west of Lexington that has ever accomplished this feat. This year's competitors in Quick Recall were Timothy Watson, Brittany Curry, Rebecca Montgomery, Eli Jackson, Zane Sanders, Courtney Green, Treyton Grant, Austin Bradshaw, Benjamin Hancock, and Erwin Ruczienski. The Future Problem Solving Team consists of Jessi Taylor, Amber Turner, Wes Stone, and Benjamin Hancock. Highest number of individual qualifiers advance to Region In addition to the team championships, Adair County had the highest number of individual qualifiers to advance to Region once again.
