Euclid Cisco NetRiders Competition

The team of Bob Kilroy and Dudley Shepherd has placed 1st in the first of three rounds in the Cisco NetRiders competition. The competition is based on the Cisco Certified Entry-level Networking Certification (CCENT) skill set. The Round 1 competition consists of a 50-minute online exam that includes 50 theoretical exam questions and 10 questions based on a networking simulation activity.

Each Academy is limited to 5 teams that are eligible to advance to Round 2 for the opportunity to represent Ohio in the USA/Canada competition. The top three teams from each state in Round 2 will advance to the final Round 3 competition.  Last year, over 2,000 students from over 150 academies started out and saw Erich Botzki and David Schwartz represent Ohio, and finish 12th in the Round 3 competition.

In addition to Bob and Dudley, the achievements of this year's class also included teams from Euclid placing in 5 of the top 8 positions in a field of 47 teams from throughout the state. Also moving on to Round 2 are:

2nd place:Tyler Dodd and Devon Kemp
4th place: Alan Hudak and Julian Kemp
7th place: Brianna Cunningham and Anthony Davis
8th place: Jacob Hoggett and Colin McLaughlin

All 5 teams will compete in Round 2, which will take place the week of April 15th. Congratulations and good luck to the students as they hopefully advance into the next round and represent Ohio in the USA/Canada event.
