Alaska Region National Ocean Sciences BowlThe following high schools competed in the 15th annual Alaska regional competition in Seward on March 2–4, 2012. The competition schedule is available online, including the order of oral presentations.
Asterisks (*) denote returning coaches and students. Multiple asterisks signify multiple years' participation. A times sign plus number means too many asterisks to count.
Names in bold were chosen by their teammates and coaches as the most valuable members of their teams.
This regional competition is limited to 20 teams on a first-come, first-served basis. Additional teams wanting to participate are placed on a waiting list and are accepted into the competition if space becomes available. This year, because some teams were doing the quiz only, one research-project-only team (Mat-Su) was allowed to sign up.
