The Science Olympiad team participated in the state competition at the Ohio State University for the 15th consecutive year! The team placed 24th out of 40 teams, an improvement from last year’s result.
Of the teams from southwest Ohio, Country Day’s team scored the second highest, edging out St Xavier, Indian Hill, and Loveland high schools.
Placing in the top 10 in their categories are Jordan Lowe `25 and Marley Handler `24 placed 4th in the remote sensing category, an event that focuses on using satellite data and spectroscopic information to study meteorology, climate change, and our planet. Jason Starodub `26 and Yihe Zhang `26 placed 9th in the chemistry lab category.
