Subject: VA State Science Olympiad (Div. B) - "Reach for the Stars" Results

PTs:

On Saturday, 01 May 2004, Sandburg MS hosted the Virginia State Science
Olympiad (Division B); I hosted/judged the "Reach for the Stars" event. I
was ably assisted by one of my colleagues from the SMS Science Dept. and
two of my better students. The event ran smoothly; IMO the competition was
more than fair. FYI, here are the results of the astronomy event....

Note: Some schools entered two teams for the event; the two teams were
designated as either "red" or "white."

Place | Raw Score | % (top 3 teams only) | School/Team

1.  53/70 | 76% | Liberty (red)
2.  52/70 | 74% | Sandburg
3.  49/70 | 70% | Frost (red)
4.  48.5/70 | Kilmer (red)
5.  48/70 | Carson (red)
6.  47/70 | Longfellow (red)
7.  46/70 | Glasgow
8.  45/70 | Longfellow (white)
9.  43/70 | Frost (white)
10. 41/70 | Whitman
11. 40/70 | Carson (white)
12. 38/70 | Rocky Run (red)
13. 32/70 | Hughes
14. 31/70 | Rocky Run (white)
15. 29/70 | Holmes
16. 28.5/70 | Luray
17. 28/70 | Key

Several schools scratched their entire team at the last minute. One school
(I can't remember its name) fielded a team but did not enter the "Reach
for the Stars" event, therefore they received the maximum score of 18.
