Bowing their heads, Team Serbia receives their medals for earning the most points and winning the Coyote Olympics.

Today was the fourth and final day of the Coyote Olympics. The following are the final rankings of the top three teams:

  1. Serbia 
  2. Djibouti 
  3. Pakistan

The top three teams gathered at an assembly at the end of the day to participate in mini-games such as knocking off pizza boxes out of each other’s hands and walking a path blindfolded to rack up some final points.

Studio K (KPop club) performed a dance routine as a half-time show of the assembly.

Teachers were also awarded titles such as “Best Hair” and “Best Influencer” based on votes from students.

Posing for a photo at last year’s Fall Rally South, Key Club members captured their excitement while at Six Flags Magic Mountain. This year, they are prepared to go once again and strengthen the bonds within the club. “The very first time I went, the first ride we went on we decided to go on it as our starter because it didn’t look that scary,” President Ella Abilar said. “It ended up being like the most terrifying ride in the park, it was really scary and freaked us out. Since then, it’s been a tradition to make that the first ride we go on every single time we go.”

While collaborating with another student, Malcolm attempted to direct his classmate to where the component is. “It’s pretty simple,” Malcolm said. “Of course, taking the rotor off is pretty simple. If it’s a drum brake system, it’s a little bit more complicated; you have to take apart a bunch of hydraulic systems, and other stuff, but overall brake jobs are relatively easy.”
