George Mason High School placed sixth recently in the world's largest model rocket contest, sponsored by the Aerospace Industries Association of Rocketry. Masonites Ellis Langford, Keith Rothman, Lisa Collins, Ed Jong, and Kevin Zhou were selected out of a pool of 600 competitors, out of which only 100 schools qualified. The winners were presented with the challenge of designing, building, and flying a model rocket, and received their awards from Mr. Applegate on Thursday, June 12.
