Nearly 200 senior high teams of 10 students will compete statewide. Twenty area schools will be competing at the John Glenn area site competition. The top teams with the highest scores in each of four enrollment divisions at the area competitions will then be invited to participate in the State championship in Indianapolis on November 11.
