On Saturday, each team gave their all during the competitions; it was a very exciting time. The East team won the victory, getting the pass to the semifinals, where West, South Pacific and Oaxaca were waiting. At night there was a special time to deliver Posthumous Recognition to Jose Maria Gutierrez “Chemita”, a Bible quizzer from the South district who was killed this year, in a way to honor him all the NYI participants applauded for a minute. After the inaugural ceremony there was a concert with “Sandy Rodriguez and his band”.
On the second day, in the semifinals, the Oaxaca team competed against South Pacific and the West against the East, the final competition was between the Oaxaca and West teams; where the West team was crowned National Champion.
