The Journalism Department’s strong tradition continued at regional competition as Newspaper students won five individual championships.

Senior Lara Korte, co-editor of the “Flyer” school newspaper, won titles in Feature Writing and Editorial Writing at the Kansas Scholastic Press Association contest. Senior Aubrey Burgess, also co-editor, placed first in Newspaper Design.

Korte and Burgess each placed in four different categories, equaling a school record.

Senior Ashleigh Taylor (Yearbook Copy Writing) and senior Kyle Moore (Sports Photography) also won championships.

Other state qualifiers include Brett Cass (Newspaper Sports Writing, Yearbook Sports Writing), Megan Goetz (Editing), Kaylor Nordhus (Yearbook Copy Writing), Grace Kelly (Cutline Writing), Kenzie Borland (Photo Illustration) and Wyatt Iseman (Student Life Phtography).

All of the students advance to state competition at the University of Kansas in May. Bishop Carroll journalism has won four state championships.
