I only won one award my first year - a 5th place ribbon in Crave the Wave. I've had my share of heartbreak in defeat, but after 7 years of competition, even though my teams didn't make it to Nationals, I can't complain.
Science Olympiad, Student Leadership Team
I served as Treasurer of the WMAA SLT since the inception of the office, serving for 3 Seasons {Sophomore, Junior and Senior year}. I helped craft the SLT bylaws, working alongside the other officers {Community Liaison, Secretary and Quartermaster} as well as the Team Captain. During my tenure, the SLT organized and sponsored the team T-shirt contests, numerous team building events and fundraisers. The SLT was also responsible for the Spring Awards Banquets, Summer & Fall recruitment efforts, and hosting the Science Olympiad table during parent nights and new student orientation. I'm proud to have served the team as a competitor and as an elected Treasurer.
Trivia
In room 209 on 1/31/2015 at 9:00am as a 6th grader, Ivan began his Science Olympiad tournament journey by getting a perfect score of zero points in the Road Scholar event with his partner on the B-Team, Brayden. In spite of this, Ivan & Brayden got 26th place out of 29 teams, thanks to 3 no-shows. Ivan did not make the A-Team his six grade year.
