2009
The year 2009 for the team was a rough time.

The team started out by placing 1st at Regionals twice, for the first two years as a team.

In the second year of competition, Florida states was too close for the judges to announce the placements. There was a one point difference between first and second place. 36 hours after the competition, the judges sent out word that, in our second year, Windy Ridge had beat the reigning team, Gulf Breeze. It was palpably thought that Windy Ridge would attend Nationals in the second year of the Science Olympiad team's existence.

However, 48 hours later, the Florida Science Olympiad organizer announced a judging error. Windy Ridge actually came in second place by 22 points.

Three weeks before the National Competition, however, the President of Science Olympiad said that the Oklahoma champions had, for whatever reason, declined their invitation. After seeing what the team had gone through, the National Board had decided to grant us the privilege of attending the 2009 National Competition.
