The only newspaper I ever remember being featured in was last year, after the Nats [published May 4th]. It seemed pretty accurate -- I have the article somewhere in my room [spent the last hour trying to find it, wasn't able to] but I can't find it to I'm just going to post a link to part of the article:

It seemed pretty accurate -- it was our first ever major publication -- listed how we'd placed 5th of 85 in the Galileo Divison [top seeded Canadian team in the history of the championships to date, apr 23-25 2005] and how we'd only managed to make it to the GTR/Canadian Regional prior to.

Other publication we've received are twice a year through our school newspaper and every year in the yearbook.
