Walton Science Olympiad finished with many medals at the Georgia Science Olympiad State Tournament in Athens this past weekend, delivering an outstanding performance across all four teams at UGA. Walton’s students secured impressive individual placements, earning 1st place in Machines and Forensics. They also achieved 2nd place finishes in Chemistry Lab, Designer Genes, and Machines. The team’s strong performance continued with 3rd place medals in Astronomy, Electric Vehicle, Rocks & Minerals, and Helicopter, as well as 4th place finishes in Designer Genes, Dynamic Planet, Hovercraft, Robot Tour, Water Quality, and Bungee Drop.
This success would not have been possible without the dedication and leadership of our incredible coaches, Doug Wolfe, and Matt Curtis. Our coaches were at the event, guiding and supporting our students every step of the way. Their unwavering commitment, countless hours of preparation, and genuine passion for mentoring continue to inspire and push Walton SO to new heights. Their leadership is the heart of this team, and we are beyond grateful for everything they do.
