It is quite an accomplishment for a student team. Hats off to them.

Subject: [AR] Congratulations to USC for Traveler IV launch
In April, USC launched Traveler IV from Spaceport America, and today they
announced that their data analysis shows 90% confidence that it crossed 100 km.
It's quite an accomplishment for a student team.
The rocket was just a single stage solid with apparently lots of attention paid
to weight reduction. In the landed photo the parachute looks small, but it's
probably just a really light airframe.
