Liberty High School’s Restaurant Management Team placed 20th out of 31 teams at the National ProStart Invitational in San Diego April 24–26.

The four-member team — Christine Carlson, Gabrielle McGrew, Jessica Warren and Nicole Newbury — advanced to nationals after winning first place at the 2009 Boyd Coffee ProStart Invitational in Olympia in March.

The competition included a quiz bowl and a case study. The team lost by only one question in the second round of the quiz bowl.
