Jackson-Milton snares another win at YSU physics tourney

NORTH JACKSON

Jackson-Milton High School students continued their reign of physics prowess at the Youngstown State University Physics Olympics.

This marks the second year that Stephen Mohr’s class won first place at the event. This year, 15 schools competed in the March 7 contest.

Mohr and the school place high expectations for the students “and they rise to the occasion every year,” he said.

After last year’s team brought home the win, beating several teams from larger school districts with more members, the Blue Jays team — all seniors — were confident in their knowledge and skills.

Students compete in 12 events and Jackson-Milton entered each. First, second and third place teams were determined based on how students from each school scored in the individual events.
