Oliver and Espen are extraordinary students that have excelled in many areas during their 3+ years and are ranked #3 and #4 respectively in their class of 432 seniors. They are captains of cross country, alpine skiing, and track. Their average ACT is 35.5 and their average GPA is 4.39. Collectively, they have scored 12 fives and 2 fours on their AP exams and both have been awarded AP Scholar of Distinction.
I discovered that Oliver loves speed, whether it be running or four wheeling, it doesn't matter. Espen likes to work with his hands and fix things so he is typically fixing the things that Oliver breaks when going really fast.
As far as post-secondary plans, Oliver and Espen are pursuing appointments to one of the military academies, in particular, the Air Force Academy.
