Illing Middle School Meets With Success at Odyssey of the Mind World Finals

The Illing Middle School Odyssey of the Mind team returned on Sunday from a successful trip to the 2013 Odyssey of the Mind World Finals at Michigan State University.

The Illing team finished in 10th place in the world in its division. The students competed against the best teams from around the world in the middle school division of their Long Term Problem - “It's How You Look at It.”

There were 63 teams in the division, representing the best performances from around the world in their problem.

This was Manchester's third year in a row to have teams compete in the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals (a team must come in first or second place at the State Finals tournament to advance to the World Finals), third year in a row to have a team come in first place at the State Finals, and second year to have a top 10-finishing team at World Finals.
