This age division consists of youth between third and eighth grade. This team ended up placing fifth overall in the Intermediate Division.

This year, Murray County 4-H sent teams to our regional competition for horse, general livestock, and poultry. Thank you to our volunteers who took the role of leading practices for these divisions. Our horse volunteers were Darcie Spartz and Amanda Grogan. The general livestock volunteer was Linnea Surprenant, and poultry volunteers were Cheryl Heard and Amy Nepp.
The competition consists of two rounds per match, the first round is strictly head-to-head, where team competitors are given the same question, and who ever hits the buzzer first will get the opportunity to answer the question, but if they answer the question incorrectly, the other team will get the chance to answer that same question. The second round consists of a potential bonus question for the team, where they can talk it out and give the answer as a group.
