"The teams are tougher and the stakes are higher in the third round of The Challenge," said Trent Anderson, Cablevision's Vice President of Education. "All the students have done a fantastic job of maintaining their 'collective cool' when the pressure is on - and it's only increasing. We wish North Babylon High School and Riverhead High School good luck in round three. From here on in, it's anyone's game to win."
Representing North Babylon High School are Adam Abdelaziz (captain), Alexandria Abranko, Christian Cederstrom, Max Haarhaus and Daniel Rosenberg (alternate). The team's academic advisors are Erin Casserly and Timothy Pescatore.
As this season of The Challenge progresses, schools will vie each week to continue on in the competition, which ultimately results in the best teams from each region facing off against each other next spring. Regional champions will then compete for the ultimate title, Tri-State Challenge Champion. The winning team in each region will receive $2,500 and go on to compete for $10,000 in the Tri-State Championship. Each student participating in the championship match will receive $500.
