Battling against incredible odds, our Science Olympiad Team presented a united front and won First Place in the Regional Science Olympiad Competition. There were 23 events, and the WAAS Science Olympiad Team took 1<sup>st<\/sup> place in 9 of those events. 39 points separated First\u00a0and Second\u00a0place, and 114 points separated First\u00a0and Third. Captain David Link and Co-Captain Emma Johnson led the WAAS Science Olympiad Team. These two student leaders showed remarkable strength, honor, courage, leadership and perseverance when only 4 days before the competition, they learned that their beloved head coach, Mrs. Giacomelli, was going to miss the competition due to the death of her father. The students could be heard throughout the week leading up to the competition saying things like, \u201cLet\u2019s do it for Mrs. G!\u201d, \u201cLet\u2019s make Mrs. G. proud.\u201d , and \u201cWhat would Mrs. G do?\u201d Well, it can certainly be said, Mrs. G. is proud and the SO Team represented her and her vision beautifully. 1<sup>st<\/sup> Place in the Region and headed to States, there isn\u2019t a better gift the team could have given to Mrs. G than to persevere in her absence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Congratulations, WAAS Science Olympiad Team!
