The team received high marks and medals in the Anatomy, Dynamic Planet, Green Generation, Invasive Species, Meteorology and Wheeled Vehicle categories.
“The students performed very well, and we are very proud of them,” said advisor Tina Russo.
Eighth-graders Ashkay Amin and James Chen placed first in Dynamic Planet’s oceanography event.
“We felt like we did well, but we didn’t know we would do that well,” Amin said.
The duo is looking forward to competing in Science Olympiad events at John Jay High School next year.
Chen said the team’s dedication to studying the designated topics ahead of the competition contributed to the success. He advised younger students to adopt similar techniques if they hope to compete in the Science Olympiad.
“Really read the syllabus and know the topics,” he said. “Maps and diagrams, if they are applicable to the event, are very helpful.”
