Last week, ten Waynflete students traveled to the Maine Junior Classical League Spring Convention in Winthrop for two packed days of academic competitions, creative contests, certamen (a team-based Latin trivia game ), athletics, and community-building centered around a shared love of Latin and classical studies.

Our students had an outstanding showing throughout the event, earning top finishes across academic testing, creative arts, and athletic competitions—including a third consecutive 1st-place finish in novice certamen. Highlights included first-place awards for Henry '31, Olivia '30, Adam '29, and Abraham '30, plus a 2nd-place finish in the t-shirt design contest for Waynflete's first-ever JCL shirt, designed by Luke '30.

Special congratulations to Mukhtar '26, who was honored with the prestigious Margaret G. Cook Award for his years of leadership and service to the MEJCL as Torch Editor—the first Waynflete student elected to state office in the organization’s history!
