Unless their team wasn't stacked
They took three no-shows in building events. There's a myriad of things that could explain something like that - people missing the tournament, things breaking on the way there, etc. No reason to think Harriton is any worse

Yeah, if you see my edit I noticed that after I posted.

That's actually pretty impressive then, getting 4th (and so close to 3rd) with three no-shows

Considering they got 10th place or worse in 4 events they medaled in at MIT, I'd be willing to bet not everyone from that team competed today. They'll be competing against WWP-South and Montgomery again at SOUP in two weeks, so we'll get another chance to see how they compare.

You would be very correct in saying that ^^. Princeton was a fun experience and the tests were super well written. Looking forward to seeing you all at SOUP!

Sort of under the radar, but Abington Heights looks solid. Could be a decent shout for first place in Northeast PA and possibly top 10 at states.
