    Olympian High’s academic eagles are flying high. For the second year in a row, they have claimed the championship title in the San Diego County Academic Decathlon.

    Competing against 18 teams from around the county, Olympian High was one of eight Sweetwater District schools to finish among the top 10 in the decathlon. Second place went to Hilltop High and Sweetwater High took third to give the district a sweep of the top three places.

    The Sweetwater Union High School District has a long history of champions in the annual San Diego County academic contest. Olympian High’s team is led by teacher Ken Boulton, the most successful coach in county Decathlon history.

    The Olympian team will now travel to Sacramento to represent San Diego County in the State Academic Decathlon Championship from March 10-14.
