Which I think is better. We don't need to know their identities.
Why not? I read the names of the football team's quarterback or the soccer team's goalie in our local or school pages several times during the season.

Considering how much larger the population at GDS you would have thougt it would have more students.
BTW, Big 3 is a stupid and outdated term - and GDS was never a Big 3.
The three schools are comparable in size, or combined class size.

Why not? I think it's great that the kids get more public recognition. Last year MCPS included the link to the listing for the State. I imagine they just forgot this year.

The link was posted, but not the individual students, as had been done for the students elsewhere.

Maret is 2 boys, I think.
GDS has 6 boys and 2 girls, whereas Sidwell has 8 girls and 3 boys.
I wouldn't put too much stock in the gender breakdown - this kind of thing, and number of semifinalists from each school - varies from year to year.
