Students advance to OM Regionals

From Staff Reports

For the third year in a row (and third year competing in Odyssey of the Mind), Pea Ridge schools Gifted and Talented are sending teams to state, according to Kathy Hall, GT coordinator.

"Out of four teams competing at the Ozark Regional Odyssey of the Mind tournament, held at Tucker Elementary in Lowell, three teams made it to state," Hall said, adding that those teams will compete on Saturday, April 1, at Mayflower Middle School.

The top four teams in each division and problem compete at state.

Division I is for third through fifth grades. Division II is for sixth through eighth grades. Division III is high school. (Pea Ridge does not have a high school team.)

The results from regionals are:

• Intermediate (Division 1): It's Time, Omer (Problem No. 3 -- Classics), 2nd place at Regionals

• Intermediate (Division 1): A Superhero Cliffhanger (Problem No. 5 -- Performance), 4th place

• Middle School (Division II): A Superhero Cliffhanger (Problem No. 5 -- Performance), 4th place

• Middle School (Division II): It's Time, Omer (Problem No. 3 -- Classics), 5th place (not advancing)
