Windermere Preparatory School student Zhuoyang (Tony) Lin has earned the top score at the 2024 PhysicsBowl.
The sophomore boarding school student earned first place in Division 1 in the Southeast United States and placed 19th globally.
David McCallister, WPS' high school physics teacher who supported the students in participating in the PhysicsBowl, said Lin's natural ability and tireless preparation led to this outstanding achievement.
"His relentless work ethic sets him apart," he said of Lin.
Lin's score spearheaded the school's top five scorers in Division 1, which also included Xingyue Chen, Haoyu Liu, Aly Elsonbaty and Thomas Petrongari Rosner.
Additionally, WPS’ highest scoring Division 2 students were Arjun Somnali, Andrew Ribarich, Gino Soriano, Phillip Zhu and Fabricio Toledo.
The PhysicsBowl is an annual global high school competition put on by the American Association of Physics Teachers.
The competition consists of a 45-minute, 40-question multiple choice test.
Students compete in one of two divisions: one for first-year physics students and one for students that have already completed their first year of physics.
