Earlier today we competed at the 9th annual Brookwood Invitational Science Olympiad Tournament - tied for the largest high school invitational in the nation, with 70 teams (over 1000 students). We finished in second place over, ahead of rival GSMST and behind Brookwood. In addition, our second and third teams finished in 8th and 10th place - the first time our school has had multiple teams finish in the top ten overall.
