Hampton Bays Student Wins Geography Bee

HAMPTON BAYS, NY — If you've got a question about geography, Hampton Bays Middle School Student Robert McNamara is your go-to guy.

Robert, school officials said, just won his school’s National Geographic Bee. He took first place after competing against eight of his fellow students on Jan. 25, placing just ahead of runner-up Steven Sutton.

Robert, the district said in a release, now has the opportunity to qualify for the state geography bee by taking a regional online qualifying test; the results of that exam will be available in early March.

The Hampton Bays School District congratulated Robert this week.
