Meadows competes in Science Bowl in D.C.

Wednesday, May 8, 2002 | 8:44 a.m.

The Meadows School represented Nevada in the National Science and Technology Science Bowl championship that concluded Monday in Washington, D.C.

The Meadows competed Sunday in the 64-team round-robin portion of the tournament but failed to win one of the 18 spots in the double-elimination finals of the 12th annual event sponsored by the Department of Energy.

Thomas Jefferson High School of Alexandria, Va., won the national title that started with 12,000 students from 1,800 schools that competed in local and regional competitions. Thomas Jefferson will represent the United States at the International Youth Science Forum in England later this year.

Boulder (Colo.) High School placed second and San Jose High School (Fremont, Calif.) finished third.
