Hello, my name is John Richardsim. I graduated from Grand Haven High School in 2018. From 6th to 9th grade, I participated in Division B for Lakeshore Middle School.

6th Grade (2012)
I only participated in two events in 6th grade; Towers and Reach for the Stars. I didn't make the traveling team, making my Science Olympiad season only three months long (January-March).

7th Grade (2013)
This year, I ramped things up a bit, participating in six events. I did end up making the traveling team, but I was an alternate and did not compete.

8th Grade (2014)
This year I kicked it up a notch again, participating in 10 events. I did compete this year, in 4 events; Meteorology, Water Quality, Rocks and Minerals, and Metric Mastery.

9th Grade (2015)
This season I practiced for 10 events, all of which were study events (well, I guess Bio-Process Lab is technically a lab event...and also the build portion of Simple Machines...). Throughout Regionals, States, and Nationals, I ended up competing in a total of 8 different events.

Unless otherwise noted, each of the placements are within the respective grade level.
