Woodland Hills’ El Camino Real High School Wins National Academic Decathlon
Sorry for being a little late to the dance on this, but for those of you who didn’t already hear, El Camino Real High School won the National Academic Decathlon in Omaha, Nebraska last week. Awesome, congratulations!
Powerhouse El Camino Real High School clinched the National Academic Decathlon title here Saturday, marking its record-setting sixth U.S. victory.
The Woodland Hills school’s triumph was no accident. The team had been preparing for eight intense months with a level of detail that was evident even in their luggage.
When they arrived at the championship in Omaha last week, the coaches’ suitcases were stuffed with supplies for every conceivable emergency — stain sticks, lint rollers, painkillers and pantyhose, three shades of nail polish and neckties in eight colors. No soiled shirts or runs in stockings would imperil their team’s chances.
They left Omaha lugging a different kind of load — trophies, medals and other spoils from their championship victory.
The win further bolsters California’s dominance in the competition. It was the state’s eighth consecutive national title and its 17th since the competition began in 1982.
