Giantpants (me) is a senior at Kellenberg Memorial High School, in Uniondale, NY, where he has competed for three years (2018-2020). He is currently the President of the club, and formerly competed for The Brother Joseph C. Fox Latin School, where he competed for four years (2014-2017), spending two of those years as co-captain (2016) and captain (2017).

2014 Season
Giantpants joined the Science Olympiad as a sixth grader, making the Bro. Fox B team. However, this was basically by accident, as his brother was on the Kellenberg team. He did decent at regionals, then went to states and did... less decent.

2015 Season
Giantpants returned in seventh grade, where he was on Bro. Fox's main team. This year, similar to 2014, he prepared well enough to achieve decent results at regionals, yet not enough to do well at states.

2016 Season
In eighth grade, Giantpants committed to Science Olympiad, attending Division C invitationals with the Kellenberg team. This allowed him to compete at high level competitions, including MIT and Yale. He also additionally began doing events he enjoyed, such as Wind Power, Reach for the Stars, and Dynamic Planet.

At Blue Dragon, Giantpants medaled in all five of his events, a trend which he continued at regionals that year. Additionally, at regionals, he helped the team to its only regional championship.

2017 Season
After losing a large chunk of the team, Giantpants led the team as captain, doing extra events which had been left behind, such as Rocks and Minerals and Road Scholar. He led his team to good performances at Blue Dragon and Regionals, as well as the best state finish that the Latin School had had since 2008. Other significant moments in 2017 include the lowest regional point total that the Latin School had earned since 2008, as well as a state championship in Dynamic Planet.

2018 Season
In his first division C year, Giantpants made the Kellenberg team, and retained many of his events from 2017, doing Dynamic Planet, Astronomy, Remote Sensing, and Optics. He performed relatively well all year, notably medaling in Dynamic Planet at every competition, and medaling/near medaling in Astronomy and Remote Sensing at each competition, up until states.

2019 Season
In 2019, Giantpants competed in in Dynamic Planet, Astronomy, Sounds of Music, Geologic Mapping, and regrettably, Mousetrap Vehicle. However, his states results were again less than satisfactory, save for a lucky medal in Geologic Mapping.

2020 Season
Giantpants is hoping to make the 2020 season the most successful one in many years for Kellenberg, continuing with four of his five 2019 events. Let’s see how the season goes!

More About Me
In addition to Science Olympiad, I'm also the president of Kellenberg's quiz bowl team. When I'm not doing either, I'm probably listening to Fall Out Boy (the only music I listen to, and my favorite thing in the whole world!) or playing my most prized possession, my Pete Wentz signature bass guitar! Some other things I am a huge fan of include Star Wars, Pokemon, and Nintendo games as a whole. Oh, and Bionicle.
