Science Olympiad athletes shine

In a relatively short time period, the Camas High School Science Olympiad team has logged some pretty impressive accomplishments.

In its first year as a team, they surprised many by placing 10th in state in 2007. The following three years, the Papermakers continued to be a force with three third place state finishes. In 2011, all of the extra work paid off. During the April 16 state tournament at Clark College, CHS captured first place by 24 points. It was the largest margin of victory for a state championship team in five years.
