Science Olympiad competed at the regional competition Feb. 1 at Mounds View High School against the ten schools in our region. The Spartans earned fourth place, bringing home a team trophy, along with 10 top four placements for varsity and three for JV, with the Optics team taking first in their contest. The day was filled with activity:
According to coach Colton Werner, normally only the top half advance to State. However this year every participating school advanced to the State competition, which will take place at Bethel University on Mar. 2.

![one of my ideas was to make it My Little Pony themed [because] in beats we have four groups and they all produce work different weeks, so we split them into groups. And last year it was Minion-themed, so in my presentation, I wanted to have a little fun thing, so I was just like, ‘Oh, we should do a My Little Pony theme.’ And then, you know, we turned it into the theme of the year. And now we have four groups. We have team Twilight Sparkle. We have team Princess Cadence– is she a princess? Guys, I need to know my My Little Pony better. And then we have team Princess Celestia and team Princess Luna.](https://www.rubiconline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Thomas-podcast-photo-1200x900.jpeg)
