2017 Grade Nationals Report

The 2017 USCF Grade Nationals was a tremendous success for ICN program across the board! Not only was the event record setting nationwide with 1818 players participating, ICN programs had their largest contingent ever as well with 52 players representing PS 11, PS 33, PS 59 & PS 116.

Not only did our players participate, each program competed tooth and nail the entire weekend against the country's very best, fighting for top National recognition! In the end, NINE teams represented their respective grade teams with SEVEN taking TOP 10 Nationals honors!

Leading the way for our teams was PS 33's incredible effort, becoming the 5th Grade National Champion runner up! Well Done!

Most importantly hard work was rewarded, and our students across the board demonstrated team work, sportsmanship, grit, and a commitment to excellence. 

New friends were made, old friends reunited and a lifetime of memories made.

We look forward with a renewed energy, excitement and commitmment to return bigger, better and stronger in 2018!
