Texas State University students showcased their knowledge and skills in this year’s American Society of Animal Science (ASAS) Academic Quadrathlon. This is a prestigious competition held as part of one of the largest animal science organizations.
The event challenged students through a rigorous four-part competition which included: a fast-paced quiz bowl which tested universities head to head, testing their expertise across a variety of animal science disciplines; an in-depth written examination that assess their understanding of key animal science principles; a problem solving presentation in which students tackled real-world animal science issues with innovative solutions; and an 11-part practicum which required hands-on mastery in livestock management, nutrition, genetics, and animal health.
After demonstrating exceptional teamwork and discipline, Texas State secured an impressive 9th-place finish overall, solidifying their place among the top competitors throughout the southern and western regions of the U.S. A huge congratulations to our students for their outstanding performance!
