History of West Ottawa’s Science Olympiad

Science Olympiad started in the State of Michigan twenty seven years ago.

Coach Bob Myers started West Ottawa’s team in 1999.

The first two years, we only entered partial teams.

The 2001-02 team was the first to compete in all 23 events and it placed 13th in one of the toughest Regionals in the Nation.  The 2004-05 team was the first to be State Champions and placed 15^th in the Nation!
