This past Saturday, on October 21st, we competed at the fourth annual UGA Invitational. Despite our top-scoring team having only 10 of a maximum 15 team members, we narrowly won the tournament over rivals Brookwood High School (reigning state champion) and a stacked GSMST (4th at state). This year marks our fourth consecutive win at UGA.
In three weeks we compete at Forsyth Central High School, against a 47-team field - our last fall tournament of the season. We won medals in 12 of 23 events: 1st place: Anatomy and Physiology - Araneesh Pratap, Erin Menezes Astronomy - Araneesh Pratap Disease Detectives - Araneesh Pratap, Erin Chang Ecology - Alex Kim, Marylyn Chen Forensics - Ellie Kim, Emily Guo Game On - Charlie Liu, Joanna Zheng Materials Science - Araneesh Pratap, Erin Chang Remote Sensing - Emilie Lin, Pallavi Ekbote 2nd place: Chemistry Lab - Erin Chang, Madhav Ghatpande Rocks and Minerals - Emily Wang, Udisha Bhattacharyya 3rd place: Fermi Questions - Erin Chang, Ojas Nadkarni Thermodynamics - Ellie Kim, Marylyn Chen
