Anyone medaled at Nats?

[GoggleGeek]

I got fifth in trajectory. I hit the pin three times out of four though, so I thought I would get first, apparently there was some very stiff competition. I've gotten several 7ths, 8ths, and 10ths, in the past three years, but trajectory was my only medal.

#2 in rocks last year as a freshman!!!!!!!!!!

YES!!!!!!

[sciencegeek100]

They are about double the size...if i am certain

WOW THOSE ARE BIG lol
well are ur regional and states medals different sizes?
in NY the states are like double the regional but doubleing a states medal to make a national one would make a huge medal

National medals are large, maybe not double the size of our medals, but definitely bigger. Also they weigh much more

they seem a lot larger at first but i saw side by side the difference is slight although the mass difference might be caused by thickness....

[oceangirl.007]

They are thicker, shinier, and easier to show off!!!!
I've got 1 gold, 1 silver, and 2 bronze medals from Nats...and yes, when you have multiple medals, they are fairly heavy.

Heh. Not our team.

If that was sarcasm, which I suspect it is, I would say exactly what jazzy009 just said. Even if you're in a not-as-competitive state, at least your high school's best place at regionals ever isn't ninth.
