Carroll Teams Set Odyssey of the Mind Tournament Record

On Saturday, April 11 Carroll ISD’s 19 Odyssey of the Mind teams competed in the State Finals Tournament in Houston. A record 13 teams received medals and 10 teams will advance to Odyssey of the Mind World Finals in May.

Two teams were awarded the coveted “Renatra Fusca” Award.  The “Renatra” is the highest recognition of creativity in the Odyssey Program.  The only two “Renatra” awards given at the tournament were given to Southlake Carroll teams.  Congratulations to the Carroll Senior High Technical Problem Team and the Dawson Middle School Vehicular Team for extreme creativity and brilliance winning the “Renatra” Awards.

To advance to the World Finals, the top teams from across the State of Texas competed and only the top two teams in each Problem and Division earn the privilege of competing at the World Finals Tournament, held on the campus of Michigan State University May 20-22.  Any team earning a “Renatra” also earns the privilege of competing at Worlds.
