The students succeeded at the state level, allowing them to go to Nationals in Washington D.C.
This article features the comments from the two of the fifth place participants—a group project. It also recognizes the individual project that placed tenth at Nationals.
Elizabeth McDonald, Isaac Beck, and Kylee Jones placed fifth in the nation and won the prestigious special award for U.S. Marine Corps History with their outstanding documentary, "Under Fire: Frontiers on the Front Lines" about female war correspondent Dickey Chapelle. The judges complimented the students' exemplary research and depth of knowledge.
Joshua Beck placed tenth in the nation with his individual documentary on the technical innovations Walt Disney used in creating Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Again, the judges were impressed with his depth of knowledge, and Joshua received the Outstanding Senior Award for the state of New Mexico.

The fire is gradually progressing towards the east and southeast and fire crews are successfully holding the fire within containment lines.
Today, firefighters are implementing a plan to improve FR704 and assess and prep White Rocks Trail (27) and Iron Trail (771) to be utilized as part of the containment line and prevent the fire from advancing towards private land. As part of the strategy to ensure the protection of private land and structures, firefighters will carefully evaluate and implement hand ignition operations to herd the fire away from private property.
