2009 Winners

The Olympiad has been a great day for all participants and volunteers, filled with science competitions and leisurely activities. The weather was unexpectedly favorable, as some forecast storms stayed north of Ann Arbor. The wind didn't blow the rockets off course, and there was even some sunshine in the morning for the Solar Wheels event. Liquid-nitrogen icecream was added last-minute to the program.

All participating schools received a plaque commemorating their participation in the 2009 Michigan Physics Olympiad.

In each of the seven events, a first, second and third place were determined. The winning students received a certificate and a medal.

Among the participating teams, the overall winners in the 2009 competition were:
