Summary:
Each year, the Pikes Peak Chapter of Professional Engineers of Colorado sponsors the local MATHCOUNTS competition series, hosting teams from local middle schools who have a talent and passion for math. Students engage in exciting, “bee-style” contests, and have the opportunity to win scholarships and prizes and to move on to state and national-level competition.
This year’s regional competition, the 33rd annual, was held at West Middle School on Saturday, February 6. Teams from 11 local middle schools with 90 students participated in the advanced mathematics contest.
The top teams were Mountain Ridge Middle School (1st Place), team members Kevin Yang, Atharva Vispute, Kyle Ma, and David Wu, and The Classical Academy, team members Brendan Gould, Jonathan Pollard, Jonathan Haerr, and Brock Carpenter.
Other outstanding individual finalists going to the State competition include Samuel Lee and Akshay Ghiya from Mountain Ridge Middle School, Michael Mitchell from Discovery Canyon Middle School, Grace Abernethy from Holmes Middle School, Angel Wang from Challenger Middle School, Zachary Mason from Monument Academy, and Wesley Wright and Lauren Gryboski from West Middle School. All of these young people will represent our region in the state competition at the Colorado School of Mines on March 19.
