Odyssey of the Mind World Finals Report
Nova East’s Division 1 team from Glebe Elementary placed 7th in Problem 2. After reviewing the final scores for the 34 VA teams:
- 16 teams placed in top 10 (47%)
- 31 teams placed in the top 20 (91%)
- 33 teams placed in the top 30 (97%)
- & one placed a very respectable 32nd place.
Given there are 45-70 teams in each division of each problem, these results reflect extremely great performances by the entire Virginia Team!! You may review the 2018 World Finals scores at this link: https://www.odysseyofthemind.com/wf2018/world-finals-2018-scores/ You can sort on VA teams.
