The year 2009 was a rough time for the team .


We thought we were going to nationals in our second year, and we were so excited!
The team started out by placing 1st at Regionals twice, for the first two years as a team.


However, 48 hours later, the Florida Science Olympiad organizer told us that there had been a judging error. We came in second place by 22 points.  Everyone was so upset.
In the second year of competition, the Florida state tournament was too close for the judges to announce the placements immediately. There was a one point difference between first and second place. 36 hours after the competition, the judges sent out word that, in our second year, Windy Ridge had beat the reigning team, Gulf Breeze. It was palpably thought that Windy Ridge would attend Nationals in the second year of the Science Olympiad team's existence.


So a few months go by, and we move on, pick ourselves back up and go on with our lives.
However, 48 hours later, the Florida Science Olympiad organizer announced a judging error. Windy Ridge actually came in second place by 22 points.


Then, three weeks before the National Competition in Augusta, Georgia, our wonderful coach, Carrieann Schneider, heard from the President of Science Olympiad that the Oklahoma Team had, for whatever reason declined their invitation.
Three weeks before the National Competition, however, the President of Science Olympiad informed the Windy Ridge coach that the Oklahoma champions had declined their national tournament invitation. The National Board decided to grant Florida the remaining national tournament berth, giving Windy Ridge the privilege of attending the [[Augusta State University 2009|2009 National Competition]].


After looking at everything that we had gone through, the National Board had decided to grant us the privilege of attending the 2009 National Competition.

So now, we had four more days to prepare, but we're feeling pretty confident.  We had seven weeks less than everyone else to get ready, but we're hoping that will play to our advantage.

2009

The year 2009 was a rough time for the team .

The team started out by placing 1st at Regionals twice, for the first two years as a team.

In the second year of competition, the Florida state tournament was too close for the judges to announce the placements immediately. There was a one point difference between first and second place. 36 hours after the competition, the judges sent out word that, in our second year, Windy Ridge had beat the reigning team, Gulf Breeze. It was palpably thought that Windy Ridge would attend Nationals in the second year of the Science Olympiad team's existence.

However, 48 hours later, the Florida Science Olympiad organizer announced a judging error. Windy Ridge actually came in second place by 22 points.

Three weeks before the National Competition, however, the President of Science Olympiad informed the Windy Ridge coach that the Oklahoma champions had declined their national tournament invitation. The National Board decided to grant Florida the remaining national tournament berth, giving Windy Ridge the privilege of attending the 2009 National Competition.
