2017 CAMWS Latin Translation Contest – High School Results
Many thanks to the small army of graders who made this year’s competition possible:
Committee Members: William Duffy, University of Texas at San Antonio (TX); Debbie Felton, University of Massachusetts (MA); Sarah Ellery, Montgomery Bell Academy (TN); Chris Ann Matteo, Washington Latin Charter Public School (DC)
Non-Committee Volunteers: Nicoletta Villa-Sella, The Linsly School (WV); Jaime Claymore, Mountain View High School (GA); Tom Cirillo, Montgomery Bell Academy (TN); Patrick Owens, Wyoming Catholic College (WY); Randall Nichols, Westminster Schools of Augusta (GA); Patty Lister, Thomas Jefferson High School (VA); Nora Murphy, Shaker Heights High School (OH); Tom Garvey, The Meadows School (NV); Trey Suddarth, Memphis University School (TN); Keely Lake, Wayland Academy (WI); Deanna Solomon, Classical Cottage School (VA); Kyle McGimsey, Trinity Preparatory School (FL); Dawn LaFon, White Station High School (TN); Meredith Kendall, The Bolles School (FL); Abigail Simone, Houston High School (TN)
- 53 schools in 19 states (and one European country) participated in the contest. Georgia (9 schools) and Virginia (8 schools) were the states with the greatest representation.
- Official submission numbers: 534 Intermediate and 451 Advanced (985 total). Compared to last year, this marks a 31% increase in the total number of submissions.
- Awards were distributed proportionally according to the level of Latin. (For example, since about 70% of the Intermediate exams were from Latin Three, 70% of the awards in this level went to Latin Three.)
- In order to make the contest as fair and objective as possible, all of the grading was blind, and all of the papers were evaluated according to AP-style translation “chunks.”
- In determining the top awards, ties did not cause substantial problems. When ties were a factor, awards were distributed to achieve a balance between the different graders.
- In some cases, the number of Certificates of Commendation may be a little lower or higher than the stated 20% threshold, depending on how the ties worked out.
- Names of winners are listed in descending order of performance.
