Congratulations and GREAT JOB to all of 13 of our students who represented Tri-Valley at the BNASC MLK Day Chess Tournament at ISU on Monday! We had a fun and exciting day, and everyone did an awesome job representing our schools!
A few special highlights:
Our Upper Primary Team (Runnard Baumann, Nora Box, Jeremiah Hendricks, Nash Johnson, Braden Leifheit, Clark Nancarrow, and Gage Sylvester) BLEW past their last highest score and achieved a new personal best of 12.5 points, earning the team 5th place out of all participating schools (which included several Peoria teams!) and taking home the first team trophy of the season!
We had a full Elementary team for the first time since Tri-Valley returned to the chess tournament scene last year, and everyone did excellent, with an especially impressive win in the first round by Archer Nancarrow!
Last but not least, after hitting a new personal record earlier this year, Gage Sylvester achieved a new personal best of 4.0 points, the highest individual score from a Tri-Valley player this year or last and earning him the trophy for top player rated under 700!
The MLK Day Tournament is a larger tournament than most, providing an opportunity to play against not only the local schools but several schools from Peoria as well. A few of our players will return the favor representing Tri-Valley at a tournament in Peoria this Saturday - Good Luck to Gage Sylvester, Braden Leifheit, Nash Johnson, Chase Johnson, and Ishaan Lella!
GO VIKINGS!
