Bishop Hendricken High School’s Academic Decathlon Team won its 7^th consecutive RI state championship in March earning them a trip to Madison, Wisconsin to represent the state in the United States Academic Decathlon (USAD) 36^th National Competition.  The team, coached by Sister Carol Ann Murray, made history on this past Saturday, April 22^nd placing 1st in Division II (schools with fewer than 1,500 students)!!

Last year, Bishop Hendricken became the first team from Rhode Island to break into the top three with a 2^nd place finish.  Not to be outdone, the 2017 team becomes the only Rhode Island team with a 1^st place finish since the USAD began the national competition in 1982. Bishop Hendricken received an overall score of 43,612.5 and nearly doubled last year’s medal count from 16 to 31. The team received 12 gold, 8 silver, and 11 bronze medals.

The team had been meeting to practice twice a week for 2 hours a day since the summer.  Sister Carol Ann also expects them to study on their own for 45 minutes a day.  The students compare it to taking another AP class.  After 25 years as Hendricken’s Academic Decathlon coach, Sister Carol Ann is elated with this year’s results.  “The days before the competition in Wisconsin were packed with concentrated team-driven study.  When it became apparent that they had a shot of placing, winning became the only option.  I’m extremely proud of this team and it has been a pleasure to have been their coach, “ said Sister.  Fiercely competitive, she pulled one more ace out of her pocket when it appeared another team may come in first; she prayed.

The Hendricken 9-man team of Mitchell Boyer, Ryan Brady, Darragh Harkin, Steven Huang, Jaidan Idarraga, Connor Milson, Cory Morris, Alden Pratt and Dylan Temel competed in ten different events: Speech, Interview, Essay, and “Tests of Knowledge” in Art, Music, Social Science, Science, Economics, Language and Literature, and Mathematics all centered around this year’s theme: World War II.  This portion gives competitors the chance to win medals in every subject; a chance, even in a team sport, to demonstrate individual excellence. Additionally, Hendricken also earned a 2^nd place finish in the Super Quiz™, an event where teammates take turns solving tough multiple choice challenges in front of a live audience before time runs out.

The following Hendricken decathletes won 31 individual medals during the competition:

Individual Medal Winners:

A Division (Honors)

Steven Huang (7)
Gold: Music, Math, and Science
Silver: Economics, Speech, and Essay

C division – Ryan Brady (first)

Decathlon team member Dylan Temel spoke for the group adding, “We are very proud of the team’s performance, and very happy that all the hard work we put in over the course of this past year paid off. We certainly were surprised by the result, but we’re looking forward to performing even better next year and are already anxious to begin anew with next year’s topic: Africa.”

Congratulations to coach Jim Creamer ’85, assistant coaches Rick Angeli ’84, Patrick Creamer ’87, Bob Gribbon, James Rickard ’82 and the varsity hockey team on winning the state championship over rival La Salle Academy! It’s the second consecutive state title for the Hawks as they beat Mount St. Charles in last year’s finals. The title marks Hendricken’s fifth in school history and third since 2011.

Hendricken senior tri-captain, Patrick Creamer, earned Most Valuable Player honors for the second straight season.

The No. 1 seeded Hawks defeated the No. 2 Rams 5-4, in a widely entertaining, back and forth double overtime thriller in game one of the best-of-three state title series at Brown University’s Meehan Auditorium. Creamer scored the game winner in the second overtime off of a rebound in the slot.

Up 1-0 in the series, Hendricken clinched the championship the next nigh with a 3-1 victory at Meehan Auditorium. Senior Andrew Hopgood iced the game and the series with an empty-netter in the final minute.

Congratulations to Bishop Hendricken’s academic decathlon team as they won their seventh straight 34th annual Rhode Island state championship at the Community College of Rhode Island’s Knight Campus in Warwick.

The boys dominated the day winning 44 medals in the ten-event scholastic competition. Hendricken also had three students place in the top 3 overall in each of the Decathlon’s three division: Steven Huang (Honors Division), Alden Pratt (Scholastic) and Ryan Brady (Varsity)! The top six overall scorers all came from Bishop Hendricken!

The Hawks accumulated a total of 41,619 points. Hendricken was more than 10,000 points ahead of silver medallist East Greenwich and nearly 12,000 points clear of bronze-winning Classical.

Hendricken chemistry teacher, Sister Carol Ann Murray’s academic decathlon team will now make there way to Madison, Wisconsin for the national event from April 20-22.

The Hawks will look to improve upon their showing last year in Anchorage, Alaska when the came in second place. Good luck to Sister Carol Ann and the team!
