Dalton Girls Rock All Girls' Chess Nationals in Chicago
Dalton students from grades K-6 traveled to Chicago to compete in the All Girls’ National Chess Tournament from April 7-9, 2017. For the past five years, the Dalton Chess Program has sent an accomplished group of chess players to this national event and reached a record team size this year! Over the time we have attended, Dalton's team has taken first place four out of five times. Our U12 team (Pippa Lee '24, Julia Miyasaka '24, Montana Owens '25 and Veda Safranek '24) placed 1st in the country for the 3rd year in a row! Our U10 and U8 teams each placed 5th. Individual awards were also earned by 4 girls (Safranek, Lee, Miyasaka, and Lauren Nam '26).
Competing with three teams in the U12, U10, U8 divisions, several first-time players competed in the U8 group. The girls worked hard to make Dalton proud! Big thanks to chess coaches David MacEnulty, Beatriz Marinello, and Adia Onyango for their support and encouragement.
