CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A Coastal Bend seventh-grader is celebrating a major academic achievement after winning her division at this year's regional science fair.
Annabelle Cronkhite, a student at Kaffie Middle School, took first place in the middle school division with her project titled "Does Exercise Type Affect Oxygen Levels?"
This marks the second consecutive year Cronkhite has advanced to the state competition. She's not the only scientist in her family – her older brother, who attends Veterans Memorial High School, is also heading to state for the third year in a row.
Both siblings will compete at the State Science Fair at Texas A&M University in College Station on March 27 and 28.
