On Saturday February 28, 2009 IU Northwest hosted one of 9 Science Olympiad Regional Tournaments in Indiana. This tournament was our 8th consecutive regional. Teams from as far away as south of Indianapolis came. The tournament went without a major hitch as even the weather cooperated. All B and C division events were offered as well as 6 trail events (3 in each division) - 52 events total!. In 2009 the state tournament will take place at IUPUI on March 28. Runner-up B and C division teams were invited to participate in a "Wildcard" tournament to be held at Ivy Tech (Lafayette) on March 14. If you have a question feel free to contact the tournament director (Nelson De Leon).
