On Friday, May 13th Olympia High School students compete in the National Chemistry Bowl; Mr. Rackauskas students versus Mr. Singer students, only the best will win the national championship.
Each class will have approximately 12 kids that have to answer 12 questions and 4 kids from each team answer a question at the same time. Out of the 4 kids, each turn in a paper with their answer to the question and are awarded points anonymously on a projected screen for the audience to see.
Mr. Rackauskas, OHS Chem bowl sponsor, said, “It’s an honor that Olympia has not only one but two teams fighting for the National Chemistry Bowl Championship.”
The Chem Bowl will take place during advisory on May 13th. Everyone is invited to attend this event. There will be walk- in songs played for each team, this event is to be epic.
Mr. Rackauskas, Chem bowl sponsor said, “Think about it millions of kids across the nation would die to have the chance at being National Chem Bowl Champions and our kids from Olympia in the middle of a corn field are going to be National Champions, that doesn’t happen every day.”
Junior Rece “Reckin Reco” Finck said, “Rack is love. Rack is life. #goat”
The winning team will receive accolades at the champions banquet. All proceeds from selling shirts will go to travel and expenses.
Being able to participate in the National Chem Bowl is a big deal for Olympia. Not everyone can put on their resume that they are a National Chem Bowl Champion.
Mr. Rackauskas, Chem bowl sponsor, said, "Think about it like a civil war, brothers vs. brothers, team vs. team in the same school! Some of the best students won’t come back after they’ve been defeated."
This Chem Bowl will divide Olympia however. Two teams will enter but only one will come out as the victor. The best students will enter the fray but won’t come back.
