Our 9th grade Tiger, Daniel Fernandez, was the winner of this year’s March Mammal Madness competition. March mammal madness is an annual tournament organized by Professor Katie Hinde at Arizona State University, which has been running for the last ten years. It involves a series of simulated battles between different animals.
Based upon their knowledge of different species, adaptations, feeding relationships, etc., students predict which animal they think would come out on top, and receive points for each correct prediction. Of the KCP students who took part this year, Daniel Fernandez was the champion, scoring 80 points. Orlando Retamoso was the runner-up with 79 points, followed by Maria Jimena Márquez with 77 points. #GoKCPTigers!
