Four students from Smith-Cotton High School’s HOSA Chapter clinched the top spot in the statewide HOSA Anatomage Tournament, an organization catering to students passionate about the medical field. Jeffthan Glaster, Samantha Hagedorn, Calvin Brewer, and Jacelyn Lancaster emerged victorious and will proudly represent Missouri at the National Anatomage Tournament in Las Vegas this June.

The event, which took place on March 25-26, saw over 40 teams from various parts of the state competing. Utilizing Anatomage Tables, participants showcased their understanding of anatomical structures through interactive demonstrations. These tables offer a life-sized digital portrayal of the human body, enabling students to visualize, manipulate, and virtually dissect intricate anatomical models in detail.
