Hahaha speaking of regionals, ours will be interesting this year. Our coach says that it'll be Neuqua, Waubonsie, Metea, UC Lab, and Lyons at the NV regional, and hopefully 5 bids instead of 4.... :shock:
:o That's gonna get rough real fast if it only allows 4... Reminds me of last year when our team had to deal with Hinsdale C, Naperville N and C, and York HS... Oh boy was that nerve-racking... (We won second by 3 points :shock: )

Wow that's intense competition. 2nd place in that competition pool? That's definitely impressive beating out Hinsdale Central or Naperville North.

Wait, are IL regionals open?

It's just that since we host a regionals, our coach has some information about it.

1. IL regionals are "open". More competitive teams don't really get to choose.
2. We beat out Hinsdale Central by 3 points... :lol: We were so panicked when they kept on calling Naperville North so yea... Gotta say that was one of our best years and we got a nice chunk of medals at state. (1st for me boi :D )

On the topic of nerve-racking regionals, my old team is competing at one this spring. The last time I checked the Oakton Regional Page, there's only 2 State Bids this year! :shock: :shock: :shock:
This concerns me given that there are 4 teams competing there that placed Top 20 at state last year. (I'm talking about Niles West, Niles North, Glenbrook South, and Loyola) Yea, I guess only 2 of those teams go to state this year.
Wow. WOW. That's going to be a heated competition.

I'm referring to this link FYI: http://www.illinoisolympiad.org/oakton- ... llege.html. *cries

Our team got 3rd overall with Stevenson maintaining a strong presence. Stevenson is looking solid overall but they seem to have a few weak points here and there. Knowing the Stevenson war machine they will eradicate those issues soon. :lol:

The Crystal Lake Central Invitational results have been posted on Avogadro. And yes, Stevenson definitely had a strong presence. Again, here's a short summary of the outcome:

1st = Stevenson - Gold
2nd = Stevenson - Green
3rd = Crystal Lake Central - Orange
4th = Metea Valley - Gold
5th = Palatine - Scarlet
---------------------------------------------
6th = Harlem - Black
7th = Belvidere North - Blue
8th = Conant - Varsity
9th = Crystal Lake Central - Black
10th = Hersey - Varsity

Nice job everyone! As we all know, there's more to this invite than just the top 10 teams. There are other schools that competed, each with strong events of their own. There are numerical scores that can be analyzed for each event and division. And of course, there are total scores that can be analyzed for each team. Please check that all out using this link: https://app.avogadro.ws/il/crystal-lake ... ational-c/

The answer key was accidentally handed out so it was decided that it would not be fair to other teams if fossils was counted.
