pikachu4919 is a member of the Carmel High School Science Olympiad team, located in Carmel, IN. She has been competing since 9th grade. She mostly enjoys biology events with the exception of Forensics.

2012-2013 (9th grade, Year 1)
This year was my very first year in Science Olympiad because my middle school did not have this program. Although I joined late in the season (late October-ish) and had a rough start to my events, this year was a pretty successful, considering it was my first.

By the end of the season, my three main events were Designer Genes, Forestry, and Forensics. I competed in Anatomy earlier in the season, but I did not have very outstanding scores at invitationals, so I was not selected to compete for Regionals or State. My success in each of my events fluctuated throughout the season. I did well at regionals and state, not so much at invitationals.

2013-2014 (10th grade, Year 2)
This year had been pretty good for me. Forensics and Designer Genes are my two strongest events, but I also do Entomology (that took the place of Forestry D:) and GeoLogic Mapping. I did much better at invitationals and fairly well at Regionals. State went well for me too since I medaled in all of my events.

2014-2015 (11th grade, Year 3)
This is the first year that I became a officer (or captain in some people's terms) for Carmel SciOly. It's so far going pretty well. I primarily do Forensics, Entomology, Protein Modeling, Cell Biology, and GeoLogic Mapping, but I am assigned to write team tryout tests for Dynamic Planet, and apparently I'm an OK candidate for Fossils because I am a good memorizer, which is what Fossils kind of encompasses with the identifications. Four medals at Whiting and my team (Carmel brought three teams) got fourth place overall :D I won't be able to compete at Northridge this year due to it conflicting with Indiana All-State Orchestra D:

Besides SciOly ...
pikachu4919 enjoys music as much as she enjoys science. As well as being a member of the Science Olympiad team, she is a violinist in the well-known Carmel High School Symphony Orchestra. Additionally, she has made it to the Indiana All-State Orchestra twice consecutively in 2014 and 2015, and she has also made it to the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra Side-By-Side program for 2015. She also runs cross country.
