The Academic UIL had their District competition over the weekend and many competing students advanced to Regionals. In order to advance, students had to place in the top three in their event.

Regionals will be held on April 16-17 at Klein Collins. Due to the pandemic, teams are unable to stay in hotels, so the competition cannot be held at Baylor. They will be holding Regional “pods,” where advancing students from 2-3 nearby districts will meet to compete.
