On Sunday, October 14, our students competed with 29 other schools, totaling over 350 students, at the 2012 Marquette Fall Math Meet.  We tied for 1st with Marquette in the team portion; however, due to our work on the last problem, which was the tie breaker, we took 2nd place - the highest we have yet to place at this meet.  Our 2nd place team pictured below in the back row left to right:  Katy Charnesky (9), Ling Shi (10), Robbie Szabo (12), Mihir Trivedi (11) and Akshaya Trivedi (11).  Front left to right:  Alex Wang (11), Sean Wei (9) and Hantao Jing (10).  Our team alternate students; who also scored high in the team round, on a team with Prairie School and Greendale students, were Katy Charnesky (9) and Sean Wei (9).  Individual competition awards:

Ribbon Winner:  7th place score Mihir Trivedi (tie),

Medals:  5th place score Ling Shi and Hantao Jing (tie)

2nd place:  Alex Wang (tie with the 1st place winner from the last 2 years - Marquette)

During the team round, it was quite apparent that we have prepared our students to respectfully work together on tough math problems - that in itself is a celebration for all of us!  Thank you to everyone who has sparked in their students an interest in mathematics and problem solving perseverance.
