RIDGEFIELD, CT — The Ridgefield Library high school division Odyssey of the Mind Team won first place in its age division and problem category at the Connecticut State Tournament in New Haven on Mar. 19.

The championship has in the past brought together hundreds of winning teams from nearly every U.S. state and up to 30 countries around the world to compete in what has been described as the "Olympics of Creativity."
The team also won their division’s Jill Riggles Award for displaying the highest creativity and excellence in spontaneous problem-solving.
