The 2013 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 2013 Michigan Physics Olympiad.

All participating students have received a participation certificate.

The overall school rankings in the 2013 competition were:

1st Place East Lansing High School
2nd Place Monroe High School
3rd Place Cranbrook Kingswood

For schools with more than one team, these rankings are representative for all teams of these schools. This year there was no school with more than one team.


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

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.
