“Our students did a great job of preparing and competing in a very busy part of the season” said Boyceville Science Olympiad head coach Andy Hamm. “This was a very large, competitive tournament and our students did an outstanding job of placing very high despite our very small school size, especially in comparison to many of the schools in attendance. We had several students gone for this tournament and the rest of the team did a wonderful job of stepping up and giving their best effort. I was particularly impressed with the three middle school students who earned medals at this large, high school tournament.”
Boyceville High School will next be in action at the Solon Ohio Invitational on February 2nd followed by the Middle School Regional Tournament at home on February 16th. Boyceville Science Olympiad is coached by Andy Hamm, Jenna Willi, and Steve Duerst.
