After the judging in April 2019, Drew, one of the finalist judges commented: "The first and second place teams did astonishing, professional level work. By the time they graduate from high school they will quite likely have done more to benefit mankind than most folks accomplish in a lifetime." Check out the KRQE Interview with Lillian Petersen, who was on the winning team in the 2018-2019 Supercomputing Challenge. She also received the prestigious Cutler-Bell prize.
