 As RESCU Academy and all the other schools eagerly await final confirmation of the results from this Saturday’s competition, unofficial results placed RESCU Academy in second place overall in both Division A(High School) and Division B (Middle School). These results qualified both teams for the National Science Decathlon at Central Washington University on May 29, 2010. All 19 RESCU students who participated also received ribbons in at least one of their individual events for placing in the top 5.
The high school pairing of Clayton and Harrison finished third in Tower Breaking, Joel and Joey B. finished second in Water  Rocketry and Cranefly Rubber Band Powered Airplanes, Sam and Shawn finished second in Mousetrap Cars and fourth in GeoTrekker, and Brandon in Larry were regional champions in Amphibians in Reptiles, placed second in Marine Biology, and fourth in Four ‘N’ Six.
The second high school team had Christina and Lily win regional championships in Four ‘N’ Six and Robotics, and placed third in Chemical Observation. Lily paired with J ake to win a regional championship in Water Rocketry. RESCU won another regional championship in Mousetrap Cars with Sean and Jake, and Sean partnered with Katie to place second in GeoTrekker and fourth in Tower Breaking. Abbi and Miri were paired together to win regional championships in Cranefly and Marine Biology, placed second in Amphibians and Reptiles, and added Jake to place third in Scientific Method.
The middle school pairing of Aaron and Toby placed fifth in Four ‘N’ Six, and fourth in Scientific Method, Bridge Breaking, and Mousetrap Cars. The other partnership of Isaac and Joey H. were regional champions in Amphibians and Reptiles and is waiting to see if they placed in any events that were not announced at the Awards Ceremony. We’re waiting to hear if any results are updated and changed, and we’ll pass any new ribbons along when they arrive by mail.
 RESCU science teacher, Jason, would like to extend a huge thank you to all the parents who volunteered and contributed in some way to the success of the students at RESCU Academy. It was especially gratifying to see so many parents at the competition on Saturday. Hopefully we’ll be able to take as many students as possible to the National competition in 12 weeks.
