Wynona High School Takes 12th at State Robotics Competition

Wynona's Robotics Team competed against 21 schools from around the state at last Saturday's competition at Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Alva, Oklahoma. The competition was tough, but Wynona certainly held their own against schools 10 times our size. Way to go team!
