Lincoln East is the winner of the 16th annual Nebraska High School Science Bowl.

The event was held over the weekend at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln student union. Some 40 teams from across the state participated in the competition that tests students' knowledge of math and science.

Lincoln East's team of four students and two coaches receives an expense-paid trip to the National High School Science Bowl competition this spring in Washington, D.C.

Lincoln Northeast was state runner-up, followed by Omaha Central and Millard South.
