The competition was held before the game. Her score was 12 points higher than the second place competitor. She was honored as the champion at halftime of the game. It was shown on TV at the end of the third quarter and a ‘collective roar’ could be heard in Cameron when her face came across the nation’s television screens!! She was honored with a pep assembly at CMS on Monday, January 17 after she returned victorious from Atlanta. What an awesome accomplishment!
