In a stiff competition with schools representing 29 counties, La Reina High School won the California State Mock Trial Championship today. The Regents won preliminary cases versus Westlake High School (wild card team from Ventura County), Southwest High School (Imperial County), Prospect High School (Santa Clara County) and Talmapis High School (Marin County). The finals found the La Reina defense team competing against Elk Grove High School from Sacramento County.
Thea Percival '11 also won top awards for her portrayal of defense witness Chris Draper.
The team now begins preparations for the national Mock Trial Tournament, to be held from May 5 through 7 in Phoenix, Arizona.
The Regents also captured the California title in 2008 and 16 Ventura County titles since 1990.
Oh my gosh! I am so proud to be a Regent right now!!!!
