Science Bowlers Win Regionals, Head to Nationals

The Albany High School Science Bowl team became regional champions last weekend. They will advance to the national competition in Washington D.C.

Saturday, Feb. 6, was the U.S. Department of Energy's Regional Science Bowl Competition at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

Twelve schools participated. The morning face-offs were round-robin, in which Albany was the only undefeated team. 

After lunch the competition continued with the final match against Albany's rival, Lynbrook High School from San Jose, the team that won last year's competition.

Watching the Science Bowl Competition last the weekend was probably just as exciting and nerve racking as any other sport or competition.

I encourage anyone to watch such an event if you ever get the chance.
