We’re thrilled to share some remarkable news about a former EAGLE student.
EAGLE Alum Bryant Yu earned Gold Medal honors at the 2026 European Physics Olympiad (EuPhO). And that’s not even the best part. Bryant was also named Best in Theory and the Absolute Winner of EuPhO 2026, recognizing the single highest overall score among all participants from 41 countries.
Bryant was only at EAGLE for his 8th grade year, but he left a lasting impression on our community. It’s a proud moment for us to see a student who once walked our halls go on to represent the United States on an international stage, and not just compete, but stand out among the best young physicists in the world.
Bryant competed alongside four other members of the U.S. Physics Team at the Olympiad, held June 12–16, in Gothenburg, Sweden, where Raymond Feng and Owen Zhou also earned Gold, Yijia Xuan took Silver, and Jason Liu received an Honorable Mention.
Congratulations, Bryant!
