Results: Science Olympiad Southern Colorado Regional Tournament

NEWS RELEASE
Steven Veatch, Pebble Pup leader, was assisted today by Luke Sattler, a junior member (ESS) of the Colorado Springs Mineralogical Society at the Science Olympiad Southern Colorado Regional Tournament held at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs. They spent the entire day administering and supervising the rocks and minerals test to students from all over the southern part of the state. There were eager students from Gunnison, Gypsum (great town name to come from  for a rock and mineral test), Vail, Pueblo, and many points in between. 
We are very pleased to announce the following Science Olympiad, Southern Colorado Regional Tournament winners who just happen to be members of the Pikes Peak Pebble Pups:
SECOND PLACE HIGH SCHOOL SOUTHERN COLORADO TOURNAMENT

These two Lake George Gem and  Mineral Club junior members had to compete with a large number of teams and complete a very difficult test.  The Pikes Peak Pebble Pups send our congratulations to Caleb and Hunter!
