Eight members of the Mercer Island High School radio program earned honors during the 2012 Washington Radio Conference.

The event, held May 17 at Peninsula High School, honors the top students participating in high school radio programs around the state. The students at MIHS are apart of Charlie Hilen's radio class.

Levi Larkin brought home third place for best public service announcement, while Matt Sexton was second for best promotion campaign and third for best jock talk. Ian Caldwell, Sebastian Aron, Dan Mayer, Duncan Koontz and Sam Peterson earned third place for best team newscast. Ryan Rouillard was recognized by many of the radio teachers who heard his broadcasts of the MIHS boys and girls basketball games this past winter.
