Congratulations Indiana Academic Super Bowl Top 10 Overall Junior Division Teams. 

2016 is the eighth year IASP is recognizing the Top 10 teams in each Indiana Academic Super Bowl enrollment class, based on the cumulative scores of all five rounds at the Area Competition.  A certificate award is being mailed to each team coordinator this week. This award is unrelated to State Championship awards, and is a separate way to recognize academic achievement.
