Maine

Maine is a state that has a promising growth ahead with Science Olympiad, with the University of Maine stepping in as sponsor of Division B, and providing new support to Division C. Maine's Director posts information and updates at http://mainescienceolympiad.blogspot.com/

History
Maine has been part of Science Olympiad since the first years of national competition. Division C has always had a statewide tournament. After a long trend of Oxford Hills High School of winning back-to-back competitions, Waterville Senior High School has continued an even longer streak. However, especially in the past few years, their margin of victory has been very small: and with more than 20 teams competing at the state event, extending their streak is quite a challenge.

Past State Champions
This is a record of the past state champions and runners up (where known), and their respective places at the national competition: Z indicates did not travel, X represents teams not qualifying for nationals. (Maine has yet to reach the threshold of a second team invite.) Scores at the state competition are not made available with tournament results--only rankings. The location of the National Tournament each year is included in the table to note the great distances which teams from Maine have travelled. Although a smaller population state, with a lower number of participating teams, Maine has always been represented in Division C at the national.

Competitions
Maine does not have regional competitions. It only has a state competition. The competition is separated in B and C by date and location.
