    They all did a wonderful job. Congrats to all of them. From what I can tell, those girls are very smart and articulate. Those are the BVI’S rising stars. INVEST IN THEM AND SUPPORT THEM.

    Congratulations to the three students for an outstanding job. I am sure the parents and coaches did a wonderful job to get there. As the winner goes forward to represent the Virgin Islands in the Regional competition, we will be praying for an overwhelming success.

      Go and research her last name if you need to know or better yet ask her parents. Her last name should not matter. Overall she is I a very smart young lady that is going to excel in every thing that she does. Kudos to her.

      I believe it's Nigerian. All these competitions and titles for everything under the sun. The thinnest, the most curved, the most gorgeous, etc. What impact are all these contests truly making on our society? Contest, contest, contest and little to no Progress...'except at staging competitions'. People are too vain!

    Last names very hard to pronounce. Congrats to all the participants

      Why? Because it’s not a slave master’s last name like Smith, Hodge etc.?

    Hon. Luce never has any thing to say. Always want pictures. Sandy would have done a better job.
