Last month, 45 Liberty science students traveled to the Greenhill Science Olympiad Invitational in Addison, Texas. Pairs of students competed against more than 50 teams in 50-plus events throughout the day. This practice tournament was key to preparing for regional competition in March. 

Students participated with a partner in written exams, wet laboratories, and “build-it” events such as Tower Building, Chemistry Lab, Write It/Do It, and Anatomy. Liberty sponsored three teams in 1 Division C (9^th–12^th graders) and 2 Division B (7^th–9^th graders). We are excited about the interest that is building in the Middle School! 

Liberty is proud to announce its medal winners:
Eighth graders Tiffany Lu and Jason Clemons:  Second Place in Compute This
Eighth grader Jackson Hart and seventh grader Todd Deetjen:  Fourth Place in Mystery Architecture
Freshmen Nevan Simone and Rusty Vittrup: Second Place in Solar System
Senior Colby Edson and 10^th grader Logan McDivitt: Fourth Place in Mousetrap Car
