A team of five teenagers from Barrington High School won the Rhode Island LifeSmarts consumer competition this week, besting seven other high school finalist teams.

The Barrington team is comprised of coach and math teacher Samuel Schachter, captain Eli Shea, Ian Fitzgerald, Michael Lamontagne and brothers Andrew and Daniel Sheinberg. Barrington was undefeated throughout its four matches, and defeated North Smithfield in the finals.

With the victory, Barrington advances to the LifeSmarts National Competition, which will be held in Colorado next month.

“Barrington has earned the 2016 Michaelson Consumers’ Cup and the right to carry the Ocean State flag to Denver this April at the National LifeSmarts Competition," said Seth Magaziner, the state treasurer and Rhode Island's honorary LifeSmarts coach.

“Rhode Islanders should rally around these teens who are taking on some of the most pressing consumer concerns in an increasingly challenging global marketplace.”

LifeSmarts is a quiz-bowl format program of the National Consumers League (NCL) that teaches and rewards teenagers for their knowledge of important consumer topics including personal finance, technology, environment, health & safety, and consumer rights & responsibilities. The program’s Rhode Island sponsor is CollegeBoundfund, the state’s 529 college savings program, which is administered by the Office of the Rhode Island General Treasurer.

Rounding out the RI LifeSmarts Final Four were East Greenwich in third place and North Providence in fourth. Other finalists included Cumberland, Lincoln School, Mt. Hope, and Tolman.
