 * Dynamic Planet/Glaciers
 * Blue Valley North High School

HugoTroop is a junior and captain at Blue Valley North High School (Kansas Division C). The 2020 season is his 5th year in Science Olympiad. He began competing in 6th grade at Leawood Middle School (Kansas Division B) and moved on to BVN for the 2017-18 season.

He has been to Nationals 3 times: University of Nebraska 2015, Colorado State University 2018, and Cornell University 2019. He earned his only Nationals medal at Cornell in Dynamic Planet/Glaciers. He loved the topic very dearly after all the time and effort he devoted to it.

HugoTroop's middle school performance is poorly recorded with gaps in the record and a deflated tally.

Quick Bio
Besides Science Olympiad, HugoTroop has a number of hobbies. He plays violin and enjoys classical music. Among many, skiing, snowboarding, and long-distance running are his favorite sports. He also really likes drawing, spreadsheets, and WWII history.

History
Key

2014-15 (6th Grade)
The 2014-15 Season was HugoTroop's first season of SciOly. He had no idea what he was doing going into the Pembroke Hill Invitational in December, making an unbelievable amount of rookie mistakes. He somehow qualified for the Leawood Regionals team despite being useless. The team went on to Nationals where he dressed up as a tornado for the Parade of States.

2015-16 (7th Grade)
He was a bit more prepared this time. He was placed on many events to fill the void left by the previous year's 8th graders (including SOnerd) and ended up studying for a few events which he never competed in. Nonetheless, he was introduced to his only love, Dynamic Planet, although he would not realize that he had such feelings for it until 3 years later. He picked up Elastic Launched Glider, was assigned to Wind Power and briefly Road Scholar. Unfortunately, the team did not make Nationals.

2016-17 (8th Grade)
HugoTroop did not participate in Science Olympiad in 8th grade.

2017-18 (9th Grade)
He rejoined Science Olympiad with BVN in 2017-18. The early season was quite rough competing against older, more experienced students in his events. His struggles are outlined by the number of times his own team members outranked him. Much like in 6th grade, he still made the Regionals team, which progressed on to Nationals.

- * = Did not attend due to conflicts with music and orchestral stuff

2018-19 (10th Grade)
The 2018-19 season was fairly mediocre despite missing two competitions for KMEA. He became very sick right before state, but, unfortunately, nobody else got infected and the immunology experiment failed. That year, at Cornell, he won his first Nationals medal, earning 6th Place in Dynamic Planet. This was also the season when he developed his deep love for Glaciers.

- * = Did not attend due to conflicts with music and orchestral stuff

2019-20 (11th Grade)
HugoTroop is a captain of the BVN Science Olympiad team for the 2019-20 season.

Rather than do anything productive, he spent his summer editing the wiki page for Dynamic Planet/Glaciers. It was a huge waste of time, as the topic won't return until 2023-24, his junior year in college.
