In 2009, the Indian Hill Mock Trial Program won 1st place at the District competition, 1st and 2nd place at the Regional competition and, after winning state, they then went on to place 11th at the national competition.[10] Indian Hill has repeatedly ranked multiple teams in the top ten in years prior.. In 2010 they fielded 6 teams. Indian Hill won 1st place at the District competition and had 5/6 of their teams advance to the Regional level. Indian Hill went on to win 1st and 2nd place at the regional competition and took two teams to the state competition. At the state competition, Indian Hill won 1st place for the second year in a row. The program's State Champion finish has earned them their second consecutive bid to the National High School Mock Trial Championship which was held in Philadelphia, PA. Indian Hill's team made it to the final four at Nationals in 2010, but placed eighth due to a good teams ability to be defaulted to a back draw and rake in points.[11] The program is run by faculty advisor Steve Reger.
