April 4, 2009 - Tucker's Odyssey of the Mind team competed at Wingate University in the State Competition. Cousin Betsy was also a member of his team this year. Their Superstition problem had one of the best tranformations that we saw. His team of seven also placed first in Spontaneous. Their team competed against the best teams from across the state of NC and placed third. They were happy with their medals and trophy, but disappointed that they would not move on to the World Finals in Iowa. Only 7 points separated 2nd and 3rd place. Only the first and second place teams advance to the World Finals. For the first time ever, Unionville Elementary School will be sending two teams to the World Finals. OM is an amazing program and we are so thankful that Tucker has the opportunity to be part of it.
