CLARK --Two months after Carl H. Kumpf Middle School placed second at the Science Olympiad Regional Tournament, the team competed at the State Tournament located at Middlesex College in Edison. On Monday, March 9, Kumpf went up against 26 other qualifying middle schools from around New Jersey, competing in various engineering and academic events. Kumpf took 10th place, becoming one of the top ten competing Science Olympiad schools in New Jersey. This achievement, which is Kumpf School’s best one as of yet, was due to the many hours the students put in after school. Both students and coaches are honored to be part of a team that goes against and is on par with the best in the state.
