Yeah, 7th is awful. At least you got a medal, though.

My highest place at States last year was a 7th, which was a pretty awful feeling :/ Ironically, the highest placing for all our new comers this year was 7th--all three newcomers got 7th as their highest place.
Wow, I remember seeing your brother at Heredity. He didn't have a partner, right? Getting an 8th in an event in which you don't have a partner is pretty amazing. I think he should be pretty proud of that, and congrats to you and your brother, Casey. :D

I believe it was 2010, but I remember that; we got a score of 165, you guys got a 166.

I've gotten a 7th place in Experimental, 8th place in Ornithology, and 9th place in Disease Detectives at Nationals, but no medal :cry: Hopefully, if we make it to Nationals, I can finally get a medal.

2016 States Results:
Invasive Species: 1st
Dynamic Planet: 1st

Team Place: 4th

Yes, when my road scholar partner and I were taking a road scholar test I started bleeding in the middle of it and I think that is what caused us to get fifth.
