I'm a junior at Fayetteville-Manlius High School participating in my 5th year of Science Olympiad.

About Me

I competed for the lesser known of the two Division B schools in my district, Wellwood, for 3 years from 7th to 9th grade. Wellwood has a much less serious SO program than its sister school Eagle Hill does, but despite that I was just happy to compete. Wellwood has one team, and the practices you are responsible for showing up to depended on which events you were participating in (For example, ES events on one day, bio events on a different day). Looking back, it is astonishing how much time I wasted making reference sheets instead of actually learning the event material. Nevertheless, Wellwood went to states along with Eagle Hill all 3 years I competed for them, and it was overall a really awesome experience sans missing the 2017-18 states competition because of health reasons.
