Hamilton Bronc Envirothon Team at the International NCF Competition: Here are the top scores for the Bronc Envirothon Team at the International NCF Competition that was held at Mount Allison University in New Brunswick, Canada competing against 49 championship teams from the US, Canada, China & Singapore, July 22-29, 2023. Oral presentation: 18th place! Congrats to the entire team for this fabulous finish! Payton Torres, Kinga Kari, Taylor Bratvold, Janessa Chaplin and Captain Cole Kimzey. Aquatics- Janessa Chaplin- 20th place! Wildlife- Cole Kimzey- 23rd! Overall placement- 34th About tree pic: Being silly at practice- sending our best wishes to Taylor who didn’t get her passport until the day before we left for Canada! Cole flag pic: Captain Cole getting ready for the opening ceremony. Blue tshirt team pic: After traveling for nearly 24 hours, we are ready to go in Tantramar (Sackville), New Brunswick. While the team had 3 strenuous days training, testing and preparing their oral presentation, Mr Fett and Ms Antonioli goofed off- touring Prince Edward Island, the quaint Charlottetown and the famous Hopewell Rocks at the Bay of Fundy! Here is the Anne of Green Gables Museum. Nature park and shopping pics: On Wednesday, all 250 contestants, their coaches, some parents and volunteers went to St. John, New Brunswick for a cool Science Expo, wonderful shopping and then some recharge time at the beautiful Irving Nature Park where we playing on the beach, watched seals bobbing in the bay and Cole happily added a few NE Canadian birds to his list! Rock/ocean pics: Top: shopping at the Container Village in St John, New Brunswick Bottom: Irving Nature Park Hopewell Rocks at the Bay of Fundy which has the largest tides in the world Team with flags pic: After being sequestered in a hot, stuffy dorm room all day, it was great to have the oral presentation ready to go and to stand in the rain with our New Brunswick flags. Marie’s Recap for the team Several legendary things happened in New Brunswick this past week: A lone killer whale was spotted “playing” with a group of dolphins in the Bay of Fundy, Cole & Janessa reported what they enjoyed the most about the competition was taking the written tests and seeing how their knowledge compared to the best of the best (they both did very well 😀), Taylor & Payton said their favorite thing was our fun day to St John (shopping) and our nature outing where we saw seals bobbing in the bay and Kinga reported that having ice cream for breakfast was a big highlight! 😋 Cole also shared that the speakers and the training day were top rate and that he really enjoyed learning about eastern Canada! I think what he meant was, “the International Envirothon was Lit!”🔥😜 The Bronc Envirothon team represented Montana very well at the International Competition and had fun meeting people, being goofy (dancing in the rain), learning a ton and meeting the challenges of an elite competition with 50 other championship teams! We are so proud!
