NEWS:

12/04/05 - TRACY HIGH PLACES 2ND

in the 2005 California North Regional Grade-level Scholastic Chess Championships

Tracy High Chess is proud to announce our 2nd place win at the CalNor. Regional Grade-level Championships held at UOP in Stockton on December 3rd to 4th, 2005. The two representatives from Tracy High were Vice President Brandon DeHaas and President Tiancheng (James) Wang, who won, respectively, 3rd Place and 2nd Place in 10th Grade individuals. This is not a small achievement, as the tournament was open to the entirety of Northern California, drawing players from places like Sacramento and the Bay Area. Our chess team will represent Tracy High next year in the CalChess Scholastics to be held in San Jose.

Congratulations to all of us on the club team: Tiancheng (James) Wang, Neil Thakor, Brandon DeHaas, Jeffrey Perez, Sean Toon, and Jason Hunter!
