“I was really impressed with the hard work our kids have put in and it showed on Saturday," said head coach Andy Hamm. "Our students really stepped up in the quick three-week turnaround after Unity and cleaned up several events. I was really proud of the hard work our students have put in to keep getting better every week."
Boyceville will next be in action at the inaugural Hudson Invitational on Saturday, Jan. 10, followed by a trip to the University of Southern California Invitational in Los Angeles, California, on Saturday Jan. 17. USC is the host of the 2026 National Tournament. Boyceville Science Olympiad is coached by Andy Hamm, Russ Riehbrandt and Tony Pelikan.
