Nationally recognized 'athletes' have incredible year You may have missed it recently in the Post Record. The headline wasn't large but the story sure was...our Camas High School Science Olympiad team finished 11th in their second consecutive trip to the National Science Olympiad tournament. The team's intellectual leader Marcus Bintz, working with several different partners garnered two national first place titles as well as a third place medal, and top 15 finishes in two other events. In addition team advisor Ron Wright received a national "Coaching Excellence" award. These are extremely remarkable achievements on both an individual and team level!
Can they make good decisions? I often wonder about this because as I am writing this, my senior is at a presentation at his high school about the perils of alcohol and drug use while driving. I hope it's kind of a "Scared Straight" presentation, complete with a car that has been crashed to an unrecognizable pulp, simulated blood and guts, EMT and firefighters giving sobering facts, and hopefully a young adult giving a horrific testimony about their own experience. I really hope that the term "smart decisions" is floating in his mind right now. Not just now, but for some time to come. Because, this is a presentation I did not have in high school.

Triton Pitassi took 2 inches to the bank. The Camas High School junior captured the Washington State Hammer Throwing Championship, May 27 in Centralia, with a toss of 191 feet, 4 inches. Andy Miller of Capital was hot on his heels with a throw of 191-2. "I thought I could handle the pressure, but I never expected it to be that close," Pitassi said. "It helped that one of my first throws was my best throw. As it turned out, there was a 2-inch difference between first and second. I'm glad my throw was long enough."
