This past school year Freshman Reagan Trost and Brianna Fantz have been reading 20 books in preparation for the Iowa High School Battle of the Books competition. Two weeks ago they competed virtually in the competition and placed 3rd in the state. What is even more incredible is that all the other top 16 teams have 6 participants on each of their teams. Reagan and Brianna were able to beat out the other schools as a team of two. They will compete at state on April 26th in Marshalltown.
