Lakeshore scored very well. I'm thinking that they are very competitive at nats.

I had to sit behind Lakeshore. It was very depressing. There was this one excitable kid in front of me who freaked out whenever they won something - which was often. When they went to nationals I think he crapped his pants. For some reason during the ceremony he turned around, glared at me, and said "What?". I waited for a few seconds and he kept staring so I waved to him and said "Hi..." and then he turned back around. It was pretty weird.

yes this year was really bad for my team as well, we usually will be in top 10 in all building events but not this year we had (5th EV [like I already have said were I was unable to do my second run :evil: :x :evil: ] we also had 7 in egg-o-naut, 17 Elv Bridge,14 Junk, but last in its' about time but the team mates were always fighting about who was right)
how did every one teams end up doing? I can say that I have already started for next year (wrote out all of the questions that I could remember)
who did fossils? did you think that test was really hard?

we didn't do so good for plymouth :? (we got 9th... we still cheered really loud anyway b/c we are crazy like that :D, and we also cheered for our regions team so we wouldn't be bored ) at least we don't have to spend hours raising funds for nationals this year.. we sorta didn't put enough effort in after regionals... we heard from our coaches that gr. christian was working really hard so i wasn't shocked that they went... if any one here goes to gr. christian congrats on getting so close to grand haven! we were excited for u....

The chinkling is the best part of Science Olympiad, although my team generally refers to it as "clinkage".

But only if it's you or your team that is clinking. ;)
