| Glorietta Elementary School's fifth-grade Odyssey of the Mind team - Sarah Inouye, Sullivan Jordan, Caroline Kim, Leah Sopak and Stephanie Wu, Coach Michael Kim and Amy Inouye - took first place last Saturday at the Odyssey of the Mind State tournament. This follows their first place finish at the regional competition. Their 15-gram, 8-inch tall balsa wood structure supported 530 pounds, traveled down a ramp and then moved to the weight tester without being touched - all of this incorporated and presented in a creative 8- minute commercial. The team was judged on weight held, creativity and ability to solve a separate spontaneous problem. The team will be representing the state of California, Orinda and Glorietta at the World Finals May 22-25 in Michigan.
