At the contest, I accidentally announced 3rd Place Novice incorrectly 🙁 I am very sorry about this mistake. Issaquah HS actually took 3rd Place scoring the same number of points as the Tahoma team I announced; however, Issaquah earned their points 15 mins faster than the Tahoma team.
Here are the detailed results for all teams
