In between, the students took part in three stages of the competition and waited around patiently for the exams to be marked so that the final event, the Face Off could take place. Here is how our students faired:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"_04xlpA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">Our grade 10 team consisting of Austin Ng, Colin Wang, Cody Chau, and Nathan Yan finished in first place and will be invited back to compete in the Provincials in April.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1645\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1645\" style=\"width: 525px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1645 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.vsb.bc.ca\/thompson-odyssey\/files\/2023\/03\/20230226_141543-1024x558.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.vsb.bc.ca\/thompson-odyssey\/files\/2023\/03\/20230226_141543-1024x558.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.vsb.bc.ca\/thompson-odyssey\/files\/2023\/03\/20230226_141543-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.vsb.bc.ca\/thompson-odyssey\/files\/2023\/03\/20230226_141543-768x418.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.vsb.bc.ca\/thompson-odyssey\/files\/2023\/03\/20230226_141543-1536x837.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.vsb.bc.ca\/thompson-odyssey\/files\/2023\/03\/20230226_141543-2048x1116.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1645\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Feb 2022 &#8211; Collin, Nathan, Austin, Ms. Rieder, and Cody<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span class=\"S1PPyQ\">On an individual basis, both Austin &amp; Colin (from the grade 10 team) and Jeffrey Chen placed high enough to take part in the very challenging and fast-paced Face Off.
