2010 Winners

The Olympiad has been a great day for all participants and volunteers, filled with science competitions and leisurely activities.

All participating schools have received a plaque commemorating their participation in the 2010 Michigan Physics Olympiad.

All participating students have received a participation certificate.

The overall school rankings in the 2010 competition were:

1st Place East Lansing High School
2nd Place Powers Catholic High School
3rd Place (tied) Troy High School
3rd Place (tied) Troy Athens High School

Since there was a tie, we have awarded two third places. For schools with more than one team, these rankings are representative for all teams of these schools.


In each of the seven events, teams winning first, second and third places were determined. The winning students received a certificate and a medal. Due to ties, we ran out of medals for the Physics Bowl. The leaders of the winning teams will be contacted to get an exact count of the missing medals. We will then mail the remaining medals.

In the table below, we list the winners of the individual events and their Olympiad Team Numbers. If you find your name mis-spelled or wrong, please let us know. The Olympiad Team Numbers were assigned by the Olympiad preparation committee. For schools with more than one team, the Olympiad Team Numbers differ from your school's internal team numbers.
