Four high school students have been selected to represent the U.S. at the 45th International Chemistry Olympiad in Moscow on July 15–24.

The U.S. team consists of Saaket Agrawal of Mira Loma High School, in California; David Liang of Carmel High School, in Indiana; Runpeng Liu of Ladue Horton Watkins High School, in Missouri; and Stephen Ting of Monta Vista High School, in California.

“It’s humbling to be one of the top four, to be representing the U.S. internationally,” Liu says.

Two alternates were also chosen: Jessica Xu of Watchung Hills Regional High School, in New Jersey, and Stephen Tang of Solon High School, in Ohio.

The team was selected at the conclusion of an intensive two-week U.S. National Chemistry Olympiad study camp organized by the American Chemical Society  and held at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., on June 4–19. Twenty students—16 men and four women—participated in this year’s study camp. They were the top scorers among approximately 14,000 students who took a regional exam, 1,000 of whom went on to take the national exam.
