Adair County High School Academic Team captured the 2011 Governor's Cup 4th Region Championship this weekend at Allen County-Scottsville High School in Scottsville, KY.




Adair swept through both team events, going undefeated in Quick Recall to earn their 6th straight Quick Recall Regional Championship, and the Future Problem Solving Team was named Regional Champions for the 3rd year in a row, their fifth title in the past seven years.

This year's victories mark a stunning 7th year in a row that Adair County has won a 4th Region Championship.

Included in the team's championships were six individuals who placed in the Top 5 in their respective categories to earn the right to advance to Governor's Cup State Finals for Written Assessment competition:
  • Luke Maupin won 1st Place in both Social Studies and Arts and Humanities written assessments to earn his third straight championship in both categories and completing a four-year streak of making it to State Finals. Maupin's Social Studies score was the top score in the State at this year's Regionals and his Arts and Humanities score was one of the Top 10 across the Commonwealth.

  • Jake Leibeck joined Maupin in Arts and Humanities who qualified just behind his teammate to earn 2nd Place.

  • Kyle Mann will also represent Adair County at State, in Arts and Humanities, marking the first time in the school's history that all three eligible competitors in a single written assessment category have advanced to State Finals.

  • Jake Leibeck in addition to advancing to state in Arts and Humanities, captured 2nd Place in Language Arts just one question away from 1st

  • Heather Jackson, a fellow teammate won 4th Place and will advance to the State for the first time while a member for ACHS, doing so in just her Sophomore year as a competitor: a remarkable accomplishment.
