This past Saturday, on March 21st, 19 Hartford Huskies traveled to WMU to compete in the Regional Science Olympiad Competition against 20+ area teams. All participants did their best and Mr. Thiele and Mr. Morsaw appreciated all your hard work for these past months. We want to thank our seniors for all their time they have put in the Science Olympiad for the past 7 years in middle and high school. Our 2026 seniors were Alexander Morsaw, Weston Pitcher, Isaiah Lovell, and Joel Garcia. We wish all our seniors good luck in their future endeavors and the work they did for the Science Department and the Hartford community.
The following Hartford Huskies received medals/ribbons for their efforts:
5th place finishers in Boomilever were Joel Garcia and Josais Robles
6th place finishers in Boomilever were Carlie Sullivan and Pablo Rodriguez
8th place finishers in Electric Vehicle were Alex Morsaw and Isaiah Lovell
4th place finishers in Hovercraft were Alex Morsaw and Isaiah Lovell
8th place finishers in Machines were Isaiah Lovell and Josais Robles
7th place finishers in Robot Tour were Josais Robles and Joel Garcia
Thanks to all of our competitors once again for their hard work this year. We finished 10th out of 28 teams and missed qualifying for the state tournament by one place. We look forward to working with the underclassmen next year and seniors thanks for the past 4 years and graduation is just around the corner!
