Team One from Creekview High School of Canton, GA wins the 2014 Team America Rocketry Challenge. Over 700 teams from across the country participated in the Challenge this year. From those 101 teams flew in the finals which were held Saturday in The Plains, Virginia.

The team receives a $10,500 prize, and a trip to the Farnborough International Airshow just outside of London, UK where they will compete in a flyoff with teams from UK, France, and Japan!  Members of the team include Amanda Semler, 18; Andrew White, 16; Nick Dimos, 16; Austin Bralick, 16; and Bailey Robertson, 15.

Flight 1 scored just 6 off a perfect score of zero, and flight two was 8.88 for a total of 14.88 points, over three points better than the second place team.  Creekview’s Team 3 scored 52.96 on their first flight and did not make the flyoff, which was shortened to one flight due to weather.  More details later!
