Vijayawada City Finals
Aqua
Regia 2007 came to Vijayawada
on October 28,2007. This is
the first time that Vijayawada, also
known as Blazewada for its scorching summers, played
host to an Aqua Regia event.
About
2500 students (1250 teams) took part in the
School-level Prelims. Of these, 160 teams were
short-listed for the City Prelims. After we
administered the 25 Visual Questions that make up
the City Prelims, the
following top six teams short-listed
for the On Stage Finals:
(a)
Nalanda Vidya Niketan: P. Sai Krishna & B. Sri
Hareendra (both of Class X)
(b)
Atkinson A. I. Higher Sec. School: K. Soumya & T.Sultana
(both of Class X)
(c)
N. S. M. Public School Team I: M. Chaitanya & D.Nikhilesh
(both of Class X)
(d)
N. S. M. Public School Team II: B. V. Aditya & P.Ramachandra
(both of Class X)
(e)
Nirmala High School: Vikram Simha Reddy & P. Y.Sriram
(both of Class X)
(f)
Ravindra Bharati Public School: Y. Amulya (Class X)
& V. Dinesh (Class IX)
While
the ‘Prelims’ was a tight affair, the ‘On-Stage
Finals’ turned out to be a one-team show. The team of
P. Sai Krishna & B. Sri Hareendra from
Nalanda Vidya Niketan led
the rest from the very first round. The
other five teams tried their best to go past the
Nalanda duo but to no avail.
The
final standings were as follows:
(a)
Nalanda Vidya Niketan: P. Sai Krishna & B. Sri
Hareendra (both of Class X)
(b)
Ravindra Bharati Public School: Y. Amulya (Class
X) & V. Dinesh (Class IX)
(c)
Atkinson A. I. Higher Sec. School: K. Soumya & T.Sultana
(both of Class X)
(d)
N. S. M. Public School Team II: B. V. Aditya & P.Ramachandra
(both of Class X)
(e)
Nirmala High School: Vikram Simha Reddy & P. Y.Sriram
(both of Class X)
(f)
N. S. M. Public School Team I: M. Chaitanya & D.Nikhilesh
(both of Class X)
With
this win, the Nalanda Vidya Niketan team not only
won Rs.10,000 but also assured themselves of a place
in the
Hyderabad Regional Finals.
