GM TEAMS competitors place in state competition, nationals canceled
March 31, 2020
All three groups of General McLane High School students that competed in the TEAMS (Tests of Engineering Aptitude in Mathematics and Science) local competition earned placings statewide.
Unfortunately due to COVID-19, the national competition was canceled in Nashville.
The test is comprised of three parts: an 80 multiple-choice question test in 90 minutes, an APA-style essay question, then a design/building project done as a team.
In the Junior/Senior category, GM’s Team A placed fifth overall in the state. Congratulations to Evan Zehr, captain, and his team mates: Hannah Burbules, Tim Fair, Jeremy Getson, Glory Linebach, Zachariah Lofgren, Remlee Robinson and Andrew Yonko.
Also in the Junior/Senior category, GM’s Team B placed eighth overall in the state. Congratulations to Ellison Conaway, captain, Riley Clever, Landon Grafton, Elena Halmi, Calder Martin, Joshua Salisburg, Nicholas Tysiachney and Linus Zehr.
“Based on past results, I believe that all of our teams would have easily qualified to advance to the national competition,” said Dave Treusch,
The freshmen/sophomore division took second place overall in the state. Teams that ranked first, second of third in the overall state rankings automatically qualify to compete in the national TEAMS competition.
Congratulations to Spencer Green, captain, Wesley Hakanon, Owen Larmon, Nathaniel Lofgren, Payton Massey, Louisa Opp, Zachary Roland and Abby Walker!
