MTU Bioathlon

Sixteen high schools each sent a team of four students to take part in the 25th annual Bioathlon at Michigan Tech earlier today. The students rotated between four different competitions throughout the day. Event organizer Jeff Lewin says the teams do a lot of preparations to get ready for these competitions. This competition serves many purposes, but one important goal is to empower young female students to go into biological studies. At the end of the day, Hancock High School took home first place. L.L. Wright High School in Ironwood finished in second, with West Iron County High School placing third.
