Students in grades fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth competed against students from seven different schools in the division based on the 2023-24 school enrollment. Members of the fifth and sixth grade team were: Jack Cavanaugh, Charlotte McMillin, Gregory Stephens, Gursevak Toor, Jaena Baumeister, Aaron Crane, Austyn Madaus, and Landon Paramski. Members of the seventh and eighth grade team were: Mila Coe, Billy Gauger, Tyson Meracle, Caden Nelson, Elaina Hetland, Jaxon Morehouse, Ethan Weis and Mackenzie Whitaker.
Students participated in the following events: Problem Solving (without calculators), Consumer Math (with calculators), Geometric Reasoning (with calculator), Mental Math (without calculator) and Team Problem Solving (with calculator). Every member of the team worked diligently to solve the complex problems within each event. Students had the opportunity to showcase their teamwork by delegating responsibilities in order to successfully complete a variety of math challenges during the Team Problem Solving event. Congratulations to our students for their efforts on both the individual and team events. Go Warhawks!
