Alexandria City High School’s robotics team won the prestigious Impact Award at the Chesapeake District Championships on April 8. “Winning this award for the second year demonstrates all the hard work we’ve put into our own team as well as our younger robotics teams. I am so proud of the team and all that we’ve accomplished,” Team President Nick Kruse said in a statement. The team will travel to Houston, Texas later this month to compete at the highest level for the sport at the Championship Event.
