Twenty two public and parochial schools and approximately 150 students in the seventh and eighth grades participated in the Carmel Catholic High School Mathematics Contest on February 23rd. Last year, St. Joseph School from Round Lake participated for the first time with one team of seventh graders. While they didn't place in their division, Nick Ezyk brought home an Individual First Place for their division (there are three divisions based on school size). This year, under the direction of Mr. Jerry Burger, the seventh and eighth grade Math teacher and Math Team Advisor, St. Joseph School entered both a seventh and eighth grade team in their division. The seventh grade math team members are Connor Dierks, Sam Lakoske, Melissa Mahone, Rick Seng, Myra Rivera and Alex Vandergriff. The eighth grade team members are Dalton Daily, Nick Ezyk, Hannah Green, Steven Hubert, Christine Kenyon and Abilgail Patricio.
Armed with their brains, enthusiasm and number 2 pencils, the teams of math-aletes came prepared to compete. The seventh grade team came in SECOND place and the eighth grade team came in FIRST place in their division, with Nick Ezyk also bringing home another Individual First place in their division. Congratulations to both teams and their coach!
NOTE: My apologies for not getting this out sooner, but every time I had it scheduled something pumpkin seemed to happen!
