Science Olympiad, or SO, is an academic track meet with 23 events. Each member competes in 3 science majors. SO is for 6th through 9th graders. For SO, I interviewed Remi Stoddard and Mrs. Mehlhaff, who is our 6th-grade science teacher and a SO coach. The first thing I asked was, Are they excited for the state and why? They both answered yes, but Remi said, “because she has never gone,” and Mrs. Mehlhaff said, “ Because she has a good team and they are ready.” I also asked what they will be doing for the state, and Remi said, “Machines, entomologies (bugs), helicopters, plants, and a ping pong parachute.” Mrs. Mehlhaff said, “She will be attending coaches' meetings, be there for building events, and cheer on her team.” 15 kids compete for SO, with 4 alternates. Also, this is year 44.
