The Academic Decathlon is a competition for high school students to work in a team of nine against others. AcDec consists of ten different subject areas. Seven academic related tests are taken, followed up by two performance tests and an essay.

The Lebanon Trail AcDec team consisted of only seven freshman members, including: Zain Kalson, Tanay Rishi, Eric Bau, Brian Peng, Nitish Harpavat, Joseph Fadhil, and Rohan Nagabhirava.

Overall, the team did well at Regionals last Friday and Saturday at Timber Creek. They won 18 medals total and brought home a 1st place trophy in SuperQuiz, a timed event that requires the correct answer within 10 seconds.

The team broke 4th overall, and Tanay Rishi received a medal for being first in overall Honors, while Eric Bau earned one for being first in overall Scholastic. It was announced that the team would be moving on to a state competition.
