Theo K., Aden L., Joshua L., Ryan L., Ryan P., Mike M., Aiden R., Justin S., and 10 girls, Ava C. Audrey H., Sooji I., Elaine J., Trinity K., Jiyu L., Kayla Y., Kayla C., Shiloh R., Jane L.
The inaugural KAIAC Middle School Table Tennis Tournament was hosted at YISS on November 30. The boys' doubles team Joshua L. and Theo K. placed 2nd overall in the tournament; Ava C. and Kayla C. placed 2nd overall in girls’ doubles; and Jiyu L. and Audrey H. placed 3rd overall in girls’ doubles, earning all of them “All-KAIAC” distinction.
