Fifteen of our amazing MESA kiddos competed in the MESA Regionals competition at UC Irvine on Saturday, April 5, 2025. At this competition, they are representing our MESA Center (SDSU) and competing against the preliminary 1st place winners of all the other Southern Region MESA Centers (UC Irvine, UC Riverside, and Imperial Valley CC).
