SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — O’Gorman High School in Sioux Falls will be the only South Dakota team next weekend at the national finals of a rocketry contest near Washington.

The 2015 Team America Rocketry Challenge, or TARC, is billed as the world’s largest such gathering, and this year it includes 100 teams from 27 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

O’Gorman will compete on Saturday at the final fly-off in The Plains, Virginia.

TARC finalists are competing for scholarships and prizes totaling more than $60,000 and the chance to travel to the Paris International Air Show in June. The winning team will represent the United States in the International Rocketry Challenge and face off against teams from the United Kingdom and France.
