Decathletes completed quizzes in speech, interviews (prepared and impromptu), essay, art, economics, language and literature, mathematics, music, social science, and "Super Quiz" written and oral relay. The scores of all 10 quizzes were tallied together to declare the winner of this year's race. The study topic was "China and Its Influence on the World."
In the Academic Decathlon competition, each school team is comprised of nine students-three students from three different grade-point average (GPA) categories: Varsity (2.99 GPA and below), Scholastic (3.00-3.74 GPA) and Honor (3.75 and above).
El Camino Real High School seniors Venus Vakhshori and Helen Durand were named the highest and second highest scorers in the Honors (3.75 grade point average)category respectively. Sam Farahmand, an 11th grader at El Camino Real High School, had the third highest score in the Scholastics (3.00-3.74 GPA) category, and Frank Soberanis won the highest score in the Varsity (2.99 GPA and below) category. Franklin Yu, a 12th grader at El Camino Real, won the second highest score in Varsity.
This is the LAUSD's fourth consecutive U.S. Academic Decathlon championship, having previously won in 2006, 2005, and 2004. El Camino Real High School last won the national title in 2005.

W.H. Taft High School Wins 2006 U.S. Academic Decathlon! |
|
|
April 30, 2006 |
Taft High School has won the 2006 U.S. Academic Decathlon Championship, earning California’s fourth consecutive national victory and its thirteenth national title since 1982.
The nine-member team from the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) scored 51,659.7 out of 60,000 possible points, triumphing over 38 other top high school teams from across the U.S. in the two-day competition held April 26-29 in San Antonio, Texas. Taft High School also took second place in the "Super Quiz" portion of the academic contest. Students were honored and the winners announced at an awards dinner Saturday night.
This is Taft High School's third U.S. Academic Decathlon win. The school previously won the national title in 1993 and 1988.
The winning decathletes are seniors Zachary Ellington, Michael Farrell, Farhan Khan, David Lopez, David Novgorodsky, Yuliya Rebrova, Atish Sawant, Dean Schaffer and Monica Schettler. Their coach is Arthur Berchin.
Taft's team members dominated the competition, earning 43 individual medals and 7 overall medals. Dean Schaffer and Yuliya Rebrova earned first and second top scores respectively in the Honor (3.74 GPA and above) category. In the Scholastic (3.00-3.74 GPA) category, Atish Sawant, David Novgorodsky and Farhan Khan nabbed first, second and third top scores. Zachary Ellington was recognized for his first place score and David Lopez had the third highest score in the Varsity (2.99 GPA and below) category.
"This is the most amazing team I've seen in my six years and maybe the best ever," said Cliff Ker, coordinator of the LAUSD's Academic Decathlon. "They worked hard and they earned it. This was a team victory."
Over two days of testing, the students flexed their brain power in a contest of academic strength in 10 areas: art, economics, essay, interview, language and literature, mathematics, music, science, social science and speech. This year's topic was "The European Renaissance: Renewal and Reform."
The journey to San Antonio, Texas began in February when Taft High School won the 2006 LAUSD Academic Decathlon. In March, the team won the 2006 State Academic Decathlon competition, earning the right to represent California in the national contest.
With this latest win, California enjoys a U.S. Academic Decathlon "4-Peat," having also won the same contest in 2005, 2004 and 2003. This brings the total number of USAD victories to nine in the last 13 years of national competition. In 25 years of national competition, California has placed first or second every year but one. |
