Villareal, which finished in second place last year, scored 297 points. Los Fresnos Elementary, the defending champion, finished second with 147 points. Dora Romero Elementary was third with 124 points.

There were 486 students who registered for the event, with an additional 85 listed as alternates.

There are also 162 coaches who are classroom teachers that have prepared students for this event since early in the school year.

In addition, there are about 100 judges and volunteers who will assist in making the event a success. The total does not include hundreds of parents who are also expected to attend.

The students took part in 18 events, including Science, Mathematics, Number Sense, Creative Writing, Ready Writing, and Oral Reading in English and Spanish.
