These 7 individuals competed in 7 different categories over the course of Sunday and Monday. Tuesday we found out that Ryan Pauley and Caileen Perez advanced to Finals and they each competed again that day. This means that each of them are in the top 20 in the world for each of their events!

Ryan Pauley also received a $1000 scholarship from DECA, Inc. and attended a special reception for it!

Cedar Ridge made history this last week....first time to take so many competitors to ICDC and first time to have competitors make it to Finals! We are so proud of each and every one of the competitors!
