2015 (Freshman Year, Junior Varsity)
These rankings are against the other 9 JV teams at the regional tournament.

"--" indicates that I was added to this event between Regionals and States.

 * Raleigh Charter High School competed in the National Ready Region in the 4 years I competed, and for as long as I know. For this reason, we competed against only 3 other varsity teams at the regional tournament, except in 2015 when we competed against 4 teams. The results indicated in these columns reflect mine and my school's rankings against varsity teams only.

 ** In this case, I would have competed in Astronomy if not for a scheduling conflict at Nationals that required me to choose between Astronomy and Microbe Mission. Due to my experience with and familiarity for the event, I chose to compete in Microbe Mission.

 *** The points we were awarded were tallied improperly; with correct scoring we would have placed around 4th or 5th.

 **** This was by far my worst placement ever, and I do not have a reasonable excuse or extenuating circumstance to justify it. Rather, it was a result of poor preparation due to overconfidence brought on by a fluky first-place finish at regionals. It inspired me to promise myself to never place out of the top 10 at states again.
