December 15, 2007 In an exciting double elimination match, Aynor High School defeated first runner-up North Myrtle Beach High School, to retain Championship of Horry County Schools' annual Academic Olympics which was held at Coastal Carolina University. The district’s high schools participated in the fast-paced games in which students are challenged to answer questions on many different subjects including math, literature, history, science, current events, and sports. After each question is asked by a moderator, the students "buzz in" to answer and win points for their team in a quiz bowl style format.
