MS Mathletes Finish the Year on a High

It has been a fantastic end to the year for our Middle School math competitors, with strong results across two prestigious international competitions.

CEMC Gauss Contest

Twenty four Middle School students recently competed in the CEMC Gauss Contest. In the Grade 8 division (open to any student in Grade 8 and below), sixth grader Austin Y. took first place, with eighth graders George W. and Alvin G. tied for second, and seventh grader Jin J. in third. In the Grade 7 division, seventh graders Zita L., Mike L., and Siting P. took first, second, and third place respectively.

AMC8 Mathematics Competition

We also received exciting news about our students' performance in the AMC8 Mathematics Competition. At the school level, Jin J. placed first, Alvin G. second, and seventh grader Jue Z. third.

The competition also brought some impressive individual honors. Jin earned a certificate for placing in the top 5% nationally, and Alvin for the top 10%. George W., Tameem A., Jue Z., and sixth grader Chaoming J. all earned certificates for placing in the top 25%. Chaoming also received a special certificate of achievement, awarded to sixth graders who score above 15 points. And as a final highlight, our top three AMC8 scorers earned ASB a Certificate of Merit.

Congratulations to all 24 students who competed this year. Go Lynx!!!
