Thomas Grover Middle School placed first at the regional Science Bowls held last weekend at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory in Plainsboro. High School South placed second in the high school regional competition on Saturday, February 25.
The winning middle school team was among 16 teams from 14 schools. During the Jeopardy-like tournament competing teams were quizzed on biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, earth science, general science, and mathematics. Each team was made up of four students, a student alternate, and a teacher who served as an adviser and coach. The team members, Will Jiao, Eric Mischell, Dhruva Byrapatna, Vijay Krishnan, and Angela You, and coach Rae McKenna, will be heading to Washington, D.C., to compete in the finals.
