EASTstroudsburg13 (me) is currently a student at East Stroudsburg High School South in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. I am a former co-captain of J.T. Lambert Intermediate School. In 2009 for states I acted as a student coach for J.T. Lambert, and I was allowed to go with them this way. I am also obsessed with all things Science Olympiad, including scioly.org.

Places of Science Olympiad Events
Results from 2006-2008 are from J.T. Lambert, and results from 2009 are from East Stroudsburg South.

2006
I was in 6th grade this year, and was not familiar with the intricacies of SO. Naturally, I struggled a bit, but I managed to get one medal. Our team did not reach states this year.

Regionals
 * Can't Judge a Powder-4th
 * Dynamic Planet (Glaciers)-?
 * Meteorology-?

2007
Here, I was a 7th grader. I improved in my studying and was rewarded by two medals at regionals. It left something to be desired, but at least it was an improvement. Our team also improved this year, as we reached states. I was not able to get a medal there, though.

Regionals
 * Meteorology-3rd
 * Oceanography-1st
 * Road Scholar-?
 * Solar System-?

States
 * Meteorology-?
 * Road Scholar-?
 * Solar System-?

2008
My eighth grade year was my best year by far. I was familiar with all the practices of SO, and was a co-captain of the team. I really mastered my events at regionals, medaling in all my events, 3 of them gold. Our team also improved greatly, and if not for some events where we struggled, we easily could have placed 2nd, instead finishing 4th. At states, I continued to be successful, getting 4 medals, one of them a bronze.

Regionals
 * Crave the Wave-4th
 * Meteorology-1st
 * Metric Mastery-1st
 * Oceanography-1st
 * Reach for the Stars-2nd

States


 * Disease Detectives-4th
 * Meteorology-5th
 * Oceanography-4th
 * Reach for the Stars-3rd
 * Science Word-11th

2009
This year was my first year competing at the C level. As my first year competing with C, I was not entirely sure how I would stand up to the rest of the teams. I managed to get medals in two of my events. My team, however, was not as successful, and we failed to reach the state round. On the other hand, my old middle school team again reached states, finishing 4th, so that was some consolation.

MVC/LVC Tournament

I had never participated in this tournament, as it is only open to C. Only 5 teams from our conference competed, so 3rd is not as good as it seems.


 * Health Science-probably 4th
 * Picture This-3rd

Regionals
 * Astronomy-3rd
 * Disease Detectives-11th
 * Dynamic Planet-2nd
 * Experimental Design-14th
 * Picture This-16th

2010
This year, I had more experience in C and knew what to expect. Thus, my results were slightly better. The team was also more balanced and competitive than last year, but there was still something left to be desired. The MVC Tournament was not held this year due to weather problems.

Regionals
 * Astronomy-2nd
 * Dynamic Planet-3rd
 * Mission Possible-4th
 * Physics Lab-3rd
 * Remote Sensing-2nd
 * Write It Do It-5th

Favorite Events
As you could probably see, I'm partial to study events. Here is my list of top events for B and C, both present and past.

Division B
Since I participated at this level for 3 years, I got to try many different events. Here are the events that I painstakingly ranked into a top 5.


 * 1) Road Scholar
 * 2) Reach for the Stars/Solar System
 * 3) Crave the Wave
 * 4) Dynamic Planet/Oceanography
 * 5) Meteorology

Division C
I haven't done as many events at this level, so there are less spots than above.


 * 1) Astronomy
 * 2) Remote Sensing
 * 3) Dynamic Planet
 * 4) Physics Lab
