St. Joseph Street • Rapid City, SD 57701- 3995 Phone: ( 605) 394- 6082/ 2554 • Fax: ( 605) 394- 6177 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 10, 2000 RAPID CITY STEVENS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT WINS TOP PRIZE AT HIGH PLAINS REGIONAL SCIENCE & ENGINEERING FAIR More than 400 middle and high school engineers and scientists participated in the 45th Annual High Plains Regional Science and Engineering Fair on Friday, March 24, on the campus of the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology ( SDSM& T). They exhibited results from projects ranging from " Asteroid Collision with the Earth", to " Narcolepsy in Horses", to " What's Your Favorite Color: Language Development in Three- Year Olds". These students came from more than two dozen West River schools. Counties that were represented include Butte, Lawrence, Pennington, Custer, Fall River, Meade, Shannon, Haakon, Jackson, , Mellete, Bennett and Todd. Top prize went to Tyler Ellis, Rapid City Stevens High School, for his project " Extended Shelf Life of Rosa Borboniana", with second place honors going to his classmate Kristin Kinjo for her project " The Green Wink." Runners up were Ryan Brunner, Newell High School, and Tami Bang, Rapid City Stevens. The two top winners will go on to participate in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, May 7- 13, in Detroit, Michigan. The runners up will go on this trip as observers.
