'Anomaly is a freshman at Parkland High School and competes for Orefield Middle School in Pennsylvania, where she has competed since the school's team started in 2015. Throughout her years, she's competed in Air Trajectory, Anatomy and Physiology, Disease Detectives, Experimental Design, Fast Facts, Food Science, Road Scholar, Wind Power, and Write It Do It. She's also competed in a few one or two time events, like Bag of Bones, Code Busters, Crave the Wave, Microbe Mission, Mystery Architecture, Optics, Parasitology, and Solar System.

2015
2015 was Orefield Middle School's first year competing in SciOly. That year, the team had seven members, all of which were girls and sixth graders except for a seventh grader. We started off with more people but due to poor management and lack of interest, many people quit. Originally, I wanted to do events like Can't Judge a Powder, Crime Busters, and Solar System, but my mom convinced me otherwise since she had a background in Anatomy and Physiology. I ended up doing Anatomy and Physiology, Disease Detectives, and Write It Do It.

'''2015 Central East Pennsylvania Regionals

Orefield Middle School competed in 9 events total at regionals that year. At regionals, I got 2nd in Anatomy and Physiology, 4th in Disease Detectives, and 11th in Write It Do It

2016
That year, Orefield had a team of 9 and participated in 17 events. It was also their first year participating in invitationals. Anomaly participated in 4 events that year: Air Trajectory, Anatomy and Physiology, Disease Detectives, and Food Science. At Rustin Invitational, she got a 5th place medal in Disease Detectives. At Blue Dragon Invitational, she got 1st in Air Trajectory, 6th in Anatomy, 7th in Food Science, and 10th in Disease Detectives. That year at regionals, she got 2nd place in Anatomy (again to Springhouse), 2nd in Disease Detectives (again to Whitehall), and 2nd in Food Science (to Springhouse... again). That year, Orefield was 7 points away from going to states to Fleetwood Area Middle School. That year she had second best value of medals on her team.

2017
That year, her school has a full 15 member team that participated in all events. She is participating in Anatomy and Physiology, Disease Detectives, Fast Facts, and Wind Power (although she really has no idea what she is doing for wind power). At Rustin, she got 1st in Disease Detectives, 3rd in Fast Facts, 4th in Anatomy and Physiology, 6th in Write It Do It (which she was doing before it conflicted at regionals) and 6th in Microbe Mission (which she went with one of the people actually doing it and actually knew a lot of the stuff). For Blue Dragon, Orefield Middle School went, but Anomaly couldn't make it because of schedule conflicts. The only event that she does that placed over there was Disease Detectives (6th). At Little Tiger Invitational, she got 2nd in Disease Detectives, 3rd in Anatomy and Physiology, and 3rd in Fast Facts. At regionals, she got 1st in Anatomy, 2nd in Fast Facts, 3rd in Disease Detectives, and 2nd in... Wind Power! (good considering the invitationals before they were getting about 36th place) That year, Orefield got second at regionals, passing Whitehall-Coplay Middle School, and advancing to the state competition. At the state competition, Anomaly got 4th in Anatomy and Physiology and 4th in Fast Facts. Orefield Middle School placed 9th at states that year.

2018
Orefield had another full team for a few invitationals that participated in all events. She is participating in Anatomy and Physiology, Experimental Design, Fast Facts, and Road Scholar, with a few special appearances in Mystery Architecture and Parasitology (trial). At Rustin, she got 5th in Fast Facts, 9th in Anatomy and Physiology, and 7th in Parasitology. At Garnet Valley Invitational, a new invitational this year, she placed 1st in Parasitology, 2nd in Anatomy, 4th in Fast Facts, 8th in Road Scholar, and 8th in Experimental Design.
