Dear SDLAX HPL Academic Biathletes,
Unfortunately, due to this year's COVID-19 virus, we will be modifying our scheduled face to face Academic Biathlon tournaments. Our number one priority at the end of the day is to find a way to honor all the hard work each academic biathlete has done in preparation for this year's Academic Biathlon while ensuring that everyone is safe. Therefore, we will be conducting the Academic Biathlon online this year. Although this isn't ideal and certainly can't duplicate the energy and excitement of the actual event, hopefully, it will still allow each team to showcase their creativity, hard work, and talents.
