<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">I am proud to announce that the NZ team at the International Young Physicist Tournament won medals again with a brilliant third place in the final in Vienna.
This makes it 4 years in a row that NZ has made the top 3!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The team from Singapore were deserved winners as they had gone the whole tournament performing to a high standard. Last year they had just missed out on getting
to the finals.<br>
<br>
The final totals for the final are:<br>
<br>
Singapore 52.1<br>
Austria 49.4<br>
New Zealand 46.2<br>
Korea 45.3<br>
<br>
In total there were 23 countries involved in the tournament.<br>
<br>
At all times throughout the tournament all five team members Tony, Jennifer, David, Evan and Yufei worked together as a tight knit team always supporting each other. Our team was noteworthy for the way they did this. At all times they were excellent ambassadors
for both New Zealand and their respective schools.<br>
<br>
The team comprised: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Jennifer Randle Onslow College<br>
Evan Simmers Onslow College<br>
Tony Yuen Auckland Grammar School<br>
Yufei Chen Auckland Grammar School<br>
David Xie Auckland Grammar School<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">They were accompanied by teachers Kent Hogan (Onslow College), Gavin Jennings (Auckland Grammar School) and Paul Haines (King’s College).<br>
<br>
This team was selected from a wider squad of 10 students, which was in turn selected at the National Final of the New Zealand Young Physicists’ Tournament.<br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Preparations will be starting soon for the 2011 NZ regional tournaments next March with the selection of problems. These will be posted in the next month or
so on the IYPT NZ website.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
