WarpPrime (formerly fasterthanlight, temporarily bradyonic) is a freshman at Rock Ridge High School and graduate of Stone Hill Middle School. During his middle school career, Warp participated in Reach for the Stars, Density Lab, and Ping Pong Parachute (2019-2020), Reach for the Stars, Road Scholar, and Density Lab (2020-2021), Solar System, Road Scholar, and Ping Pong Parachute (2021-2022).
WarpPrime is currently participating in Astronomy, Trajectory, and Fermi Questions, none of which he studied/prepared for until the day before Regionals, despite having events handed to him four months before.
As the famous Roger Rose stated, "Anything that needs to be done in the last minute gets done in a minute. Unfortunately, it will be a piece of garbage."

Interests and Accomplishments
Warp is very passionate in astronomy and aerospace engineering - consequently a Kerbal Space Program fanatic. In his free time, Warp enjoys studying mathematics and science, drawing, wasting time on Discord, and procrastinating.
Through Science Olympiad, WarpPrime developed a passion for astronomy after losing a bet against one of his teammates for not placing in RFTS during his first invitational competition in the winter of 2019. As a result, Warp (didn't) studied hard and managed to place 3rd at Regionals that year. The next year, Warp placed first at Regionals and States for RFTS and Density Lab, becoming the first person at his school to win two gold medals at the state contest. Less notable was his 3rd place finish in Road Scholar. In his final year of middle school, Warp participated in Solar System, again placing first in regionals and in states.
Outside of Science Olympiad, Warp is a two-time AIME qualifier, AMC 8 Achievement and Honor Roll recipient, and AMC 10 Distinction and Achievement Roll recipient. Besides math, Warp qualified for (and threw) the National Astronomy Olympiad (sans free trip due to it being online) in 2022.
