Marcus Creech, Zach Carter, Jacob Nobel, Christian Toms, Elana Trujillo, Emma Hart, Kaushal Patel, and Emmanuel Oyebode  all represented DCHS and Decatur Township well. Thanks to the work of Deanna Benjamin who is away on maternity leave, Mr. Brent Dikeman was able to inherit a strong group of competitors. The team was able to score enough points to place 4th, 4 of the events were able to advance to State on March 12.
