Olympiad
« previous post | next post »
No, not the one in Beijing — the 6th International Olympiad in Linguistics is underway this week in Sunny Beach, Bulgaria (yes, really). The Head Coach is Dragomir Radev, and the other coaches are Lori Levin, Amy Troyani, and Adam Hesterberg (who was last year's international winner).
This year, the North American trials had nearly 800 participants, and the two teams that won a trip to compete in Sunny Beach are:
| Guy Tabachnick | New York, NY | Hunter College High School |
| Jeffrey Lim | Arlington, MA | Arlington High School |
| Josh Falk | Pittsburgh, PA | Shady Side Academy |
| Anand Natarajan | San Jose, CA | The Harker School |
| Jae-Kyu Lee | Andover, MA | Phillips Academy Andover |
| Rebecca Jacobs | Encino, CA | Harvard-Westlake |
| Hanzhi Zhu | Shrewsbury, MA | Shrewsbury High School |
| Morris Alper | Palo Alto, CA | Henry M. Gunn High School |
