The Eastview High School Science Olympiad team became back-to-back State Champions on Saturday, March 13th at the University of St. Thomas. The team is off to Nationals on May 22nd at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Individual winners will hopefully be announced tomorrow when the official results are posted by the state director. Although we had 28 team members this year, only 15 were allowed to compete at state. Many of the other members worked hard to help our team prepare for state and several came to show their support on the day of the competition.  Some of these additional team members could likely become alternates to our national team.

Competing Team members included:
Seniors:  Brent Stapleton, Collin Erickson, David Dorsch, Matt Gantz, Ben Kariya, Brendan Tsai, and Jon Miles
Juniors:  Eric Storm, Alex Grant, Chau Nguyen, Christi Peterson, Nishaan Pal, and Sarah Olson
Sophomores:  Jonathan Dorsch and Samantha Zarate

Showing support for the team by being present at the competition &/or working hard to help the team prepare were:
Seniors:  Samantha Swanson and Gabby Geisel
Juniors:  Kristine Hiedeman, Gayle Roque, and Isaac Mensink
Freshman:  Cole Stapleton and Eric Boeshart
