Hey!! No we didn't!! We got 9th! And anyway, we just had one person on our team that was a little... erm.. weaker in the event than the others. :lol:
hahha omg some of the physical challenges for NY were a little weird.. for my team we totally killed like every single one, but still managed a 6th? for the golf one, the person missed like 50 times, then the running one, the person tripped while jumping so she jumped like 2 inches, and for the frisbee we missed it 7 times!! for the obstacle course i knocked down the chairs hahah :) and the seed thing was strange- i was the last person to arrive so i had no clue what i was doing i just showed up threw down the "baton" and started running to get seeds and back. so insane. but overall it was actually kind of fun. it was like a break from studying-- lol our team studied like nothing for this- and it wasnt so stressful cuz you got to fun around and have fun!

I just throw my medals on a shelf in my closet- I think they're probably all there, but I certainly wouldn't be "devastated" to lose one.

i think my use of the word devestated was a bit of a hyperbole but you get the idea i wouldn't want to lose one especially my newly aquired 2 states ones

Lol yeah, of course, but still, my medals- including my 5 new States medals- are nice to have, but the success itself is a lot more important to me than some metal circle on a ribbon that just represents it (oh, and the overall experience of SciO is more important to me than either of those :D ).

SO is not about how good your team does, or the experience, or the learning. It's all about the medals. You need to get your priorities straight. lol, jk :lol:

Well, for me, there are certain medals I would hate to lose, but I agree that a team's success cannot be measured by metal. Although they are shiny... :lol:
