They faced off against more than 600 other high school students from across LAUSD.

“Walking up there, I heard cheers and screaming,” said sophomore Jessica Tlatenchi-Conteras, a member of the Lake Balboa Prep Varsity team and a first-year competitor. “My ears went fuzzy for a second. As soon as I was reassured by my judge, I felt better and I knew that there were people there cheering for me.”
The last round of the “Super Quiz” was for the honors teams, those with a 3.8 GPA or above. The Lake Balboa Prep team sporadically sent up green cards. While she knew her team hadn’t done well enough to place in the top three, Lake Balboa Prep Team Captain Karen Martinez said she was immensely proud of their efforts.
