The Middle School Mock Trial Team from Reading had a standout performance at the State Showcase in Columbus last Friday, earning an impressive 7 out of 8 possible awards. Under the direction of Mr. Janig, the team demonstrated strong preparation, critical thinking, and courtroom confidence. Team members included Brody Overbeck, Milo Syravong, Vince Van Dulman, Cam Pitts, Isaiah Ernst, and Eddie Thompson, who all contributed to the team's success.
Individual honors were awarded to Lyn Davis, Grace Zander, Kat Clark, and Nada Yousef as All-State Witnesses, while Cale McLean and Alyssa Morris were named All-State Attorneys—with Morris earning recognition in both trials. The team's performance highlights not only their hard work and dedication, but also the strength of Reading’s academic programs and commitment to student enrichment.
