North Hollywood High wins DOE National Science Bowl
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 7, 2001--North Hollywood High
School won first place today in the U.S. Department of Energy
National Science Bowl after a day and a half of intense competition.
North Hollywood teams placed fourth last year and second at the national event in 1998 and l999.
By winning today, North Hollywood has brought Los Angeles its fourth national title in Science Bowl in seven years, the best record of any region or even state in the nation participating in this prestigious and challenging program.
North Hollywood captured title by winning the final round match against Troy High School from Fullerton, Calif., with a score of 192 to 56. Third place was won by Mission San Jose High School from the San Francisco Bay area. The fourth place winner was Sycamore High School from the Cincinnati area.
In capturing the title, the five-member team with their coach Len Soloff won an all-expense-paid, two-week science study experience to Australia in July. Also, the team won Texas Instrument labs for their school.
Members of the team are Captain Jeffrey Zira, Daniel Bersohn, Jeanne Shen, David Lee and Julia Hu. They qualified for the National Science Bowl competition by winning the DWP Science Bowl regional tournament in February for schools in the city of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD).
Previous national titles won by schools in the city of Los Angeles and LAUSD were Van Nuys High School in 1995 and Venice High School in 1996 and 1997.
National Science Bowl, using a quiz show format, is based on the old GE College Bowl television program in which a moderator asks "toss-up" and "bonus" questions to two teams of four students, each with an alternate player. In Science Bowl all questions cover technical science, math and computer subjects.
This year 61 qualifying regional competitions were held in 40 states with 11,000 participating students representing 1,800 high schools. DWP is the only utility in the nation that serves as a coordinating regional sponsor for the National Science Bowl program.
Purposes of the program are to showcase the talents of outstanding young scholars and to encourage students of all backgrounds to pursue studies and careers in technical fields.
