Albert Ramos-Rivera, right, a sixth-grade student at Brandywine Elementary School, advances to the state competition to be held April 23 at West Virginia University in Morgantown. He placed third in the regional competition and first in the sixth-grade county contest. Gage Sites-Wood, an 11th-grade student at Pendleton County High School, placed in the top 20 and is an alternate for the state competition. Students in the 10th through 12th grade do not compete in the county event. They are selected by their teachers based on classroom performance and compete in the regional event against other students in their grade level.
