Would you believe us if we told you there were high school kids who were willing to wake up as early as 3:30-4:00 am on Saturdays to take science tests and compete with devices they have built for up to 6 hours during that day?
Well, they do… And the hard work paid off for the West Liberty-Salem High School Science Olympiads.
There were only 3 members of their 11-member team pictured because 8 of them left early to participate in the musical.
Congratulations to the team who came in 4th place overall in their weekend competition.
The team is going to state for the second year in a row.
