2005 Virginia Section Chemistry Olympiad Results:

The statistics on the exams (not separated by category) are following:

The top 12 scoring students with 2 alternates were invited to take the National exam on April 16th at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College in Richmond Virginia.  No more than two students from each school are allowed to participate.  Of the following students which were invited, only 5 participated (the students marked in bold)

From Left to Right:  Xun Zhou, Elliot Kulakow, Connor Broaddus, Sofia Fleyshmann, and Sydney Creutz

Unfortunately, one of the above students could not participate in the National Exam because she is not an American citizen.  The above students will receive a $25 gift certificate from Barnes and Nobel as a reward for being invited to take the exam.  The results for this exam will be available in late May and hopefully will be posted on the Virginia Section web. 

At each school, the student with the highest score will receive a National Olympiad pin.  The following students were the highest score from each school.

The results of the National Exam

One of our students in Virginia did well enough on the National Exam to be asked to participate in the Study Camp in Colorado Springs at the US Air Force Academy.

Congratulations, Sydney Creutz
