Jeopardy- CJ Hall and Dylan Sullivan; placed 4th
Although Tyler Haney, who planned to participate in this event for the second time, couldn't make it and Dylan had no time to prepare before taking his place. This event involves students preparing for it by learning a packet of information about the Ev Challenge and then using it while playing jeopardy against other schools.

Range (Modified class)- Spencer Griffin and Chase Benfield; placed 2nd
We hope to install a BMS to help us monitor and control our batteries next year so we can last even longer in the range event. We drove 32 miles during the event while the 1st place school drove 34 miles. The purpose of this event is to drive around the track provided by the NCCAR facility to test how many miles the car's batteries will last.
