Chess team takes fifth consecutive state championship
Saratoga Chess team: Charles Sun, Jeff Young, Sankash Shankar, Evan Ye, Alex Lun, Avinash Kumar, Amol Aggarwal and Brian Wai
Individual trophies were also won, with junior Charles Sun taking 4th place, freshman Brian Wai placing 7th, freshman Evan Ye in 10th, senior Jeff Young, last year's co-champion, came in13th and Sankash Shankar finished in 17th.
Although Ye, Wai, and Shankar were newcomers to the championship, they contributed three of the top five individual scores for the team.
"For the first time in about four years, Saratoga was not favored to win the High School Championship," said junior Charles Sun. "Mission San Jose was top seed this year and we were wary of the competition. Although, before the last round, we almost knew for certain we had the state title."
