This is the sixth year in a row that WCHS won first place. Wallace County has received first for nine of the past ten years. All four classes had a total score of 2347 points, with second place awarded to Weskan with 2247 points. Seniors received first with a score of 656. Juniors placed seventh scoring 545. Sophomores received third scoring 597. Freshman won third place with a score of 549. Total points available for each class were 952.

Each of the teachers at WCHS chose sixteen students, four from each grade. Then the top four students picked from each grade were selected to compete in the testing. One or two alternates were also selected from each grade.

Students were tested in five subjects; Revising Written Material, Social Studies, Science, Reading Comprehension, and Math. The Scholarship Testing consumed three and a half hours.  Schools belonging to the WKLL include Cheylin (Bird City-McDonald), Tribune, Sharon Springs, Weskan, Wheatland/Grinnell, Brewster, Dighton, Triplains (Winona), Golden Plains, and Healy.

Wallace County can be proud of Sharon Springs and Weskan schools and their achievements.
