A battle of wits

Presbyterian School sent seven teams to compete at the Odyssey of the Mind (OM) Houston Regional Tournament and made an impressive win, advancing all seven teams to the state tournament at San Jacinto College. The winning teams represented students from third grade, fourth grade, fifth grade, and seventh grade. Each team tackled a long-term problem for six months and brought their solutions to the competition. The third-grade team chose to compete in The OM-Mazing Race category that challenged them to design, build, and operate an all-terrain vehicle. Their entry included a race to three original, team-created destinations and each leg of the race had an obstacle that the rider and vehicle had to overcome. The first-place third graders are (pictured, from left) Evey Tallichet, Annie Brasher, Honey Gibbs Vincent, Micah Hance, Blane Morris, Victoria Baehl, and Wyatt Ybarra.
