Teammates cheered for those who were competing in each event, providing support to one another as they earned the scores needed to make it to the state competition.
Clarion Area Jr.-Sr. High School Principal Mrs. Miller-Martini commented: “I couldn’t be more proud of you all and the fact that every detail matters to you students, which shows how much effort you put forth. Our Science Olympiad team has represented the Bobcat Family well.”
