aherthabey is a graduate of the Science Olympiad team at Wayzata High School in Plymouth, Minnesota. He is a member of the Wayzata Class of 2016, and is now studying chemistry (tentatively) at UC Berkeley. He is hoping to help out with the inaugural Golden Gate Invitational in February!

aherthabey joined his school's Science Olympiad team as a sophomore. He doesn't actually remember why he joined in the first place (probably at the insistence of his friends), but he definitely remembers being overwhelmed by the number of events available. As a junior, he co-led Green Generation. The people in his event will remember his really sleepy presentations given on his iPad in the corner of the cafeteria. He apologizes for that, but in his defense, Tuesday afternoons were not good times for him to be talking about environmental remediation. In his senior year, he was chosen as a captain, and also led GeoLogic Mapping. His most significant contribution to the team was his overhaul of the team website, as well as some organizational changes.

He hopes that Wayzata can someday qualify for Nationals. He would also like to see Wayzata Science Olympians establish Division B teams at each of Wayzata's three feeder schools: Central, West, and East (although that would mean competing with the already well-established Math League and Science Bowl teams).
