Pius X has won its sixth state title in 13 years. Julius Meduna was the highest scoring student in the entire competition.
Pius X was trailing Mount Michael and Creighton Prep before the final event, the Super Quiz, but rallied and scored enough to claim the title, and the team is excited to be headed to Nationals in April in Frisco, Texas, to represent the state of Nebraska.
Students began studying last summer, study through their fifth period study hall and lunch, and during many after school sessions.
