Road Scholar- I could've easily gotten Top 10 at nats but I had a conflict with an event in states and was forgotten about (we placed somewhere in the 30s)

Sorry, but if you were really that good at Road Scholar, then why were you "forgotten about?"
8th grade: I knew stuff about rocks, minerals, experiments, and ecosystems!
9th grade: I knew stuff about amphibians, reptiles, freshwater, and experiments!
10th grade: I knew stuff about oceanography, saltwater, birds, and fossils!
11th grade: I knew stuff about birds and fossils!

My team had a "policy" that all events, unless there was a conflict, would be the exact same at nats as they were at states.
