Montgomery Bell Academy's Envirothon team won the 2024 National Conservation Foundation Envirothon, an international environmental and natural resources academic competition for high school students.
This year's topic was “Renewable Energy for a Sustainable Future." The event saw 50 high school teams from across the United States, Canada, China, and Singapore compete in Geneva, N.Y., with MBA earning its first-ever championship.
MBA’s winning team consisted of recent 2024 graduates team captain Luke Keller, Emmett Adams, Nate Holder, Michael Kong, and Whit Uden and was led by faculty advisor and head coach Chris Spiegl and assistant coach Tyler Blystone.
“This was a total team effort with all five young men playing key roles and being integral to the successful outcome," Spiegl said in a news release. "Their support of each other, positivity, and unselfishness was amazing to watch.”
Winning teams were awarded $50,000 in scholarships and prizes, with the top three teams receiving $30,000 donated by Smithfield Foods. Teams from New York and Maryland came in second and third place, respectively.
“I am very excited to congratulate the winners of the 35th annual NCFEnvirothon competition,” NCF Executive Director Jeremy Peters said in a news release. “It is encouraging to see young individuals, who will soon become environmental leaders in our local communities, take an interest in natural resources.”
