Grand Prize Winners

First-Year Teams

Note -- at the Chemathon we announced that first-year grand prize winners were: first place, Fallston High School; second place: Allegany High School. We later discovered that the Allegany team had won more points than originally recorded, resulting in the reversed order shown above. The revised total scores of these two teams were only one point apart. Both teams will receive the calculators awarded as first-place grand prizes.
