Duluth Students to Compete in Washington D.C.

Holy Rosary students advance in national competition

Two students from the Holy Rosary School in Duluth are advancing to Washington D.C. in a competition. 

They won first place in Minneapolis for their National History Day Exhibit. 

“It’s on polymerase chain reaction,” said student Gianna Keneepkens. “Which is a technique they use in forensic science. It takes DNA and puts it in little test tubes and it amplifies it.”

The girls say a lot of work went into their projects. 

“We stayed up long nights and worked on it a lot,” said Elley Graysmark. 

The girls have set up a GoFundMe account to help pay for their trip to Nationals.
