contest in the world.
  Through their extraordinary talent and hard work these 3 teams earned 
a spot within the top 100 finalists, earning them a trip to Washington, 
DC for the national finals on May 12th. I am proud to congratulate Ana 
Karen Nieto, Itza Hanai Rodriguez, Antonio Bujanda, Marla Baltazar, 
Dylan Rivera, Rene Cardona, Gwynelle Condino, Jillianne Franco, Andres 
Villa, Hector Montemayor, and John Valeriano for this outstanding 
achievement and wish them the best of luck in the competition.
