Southwest Math Team Continues Winning Ways


The Southwest High School Math Team was less numerous, but just as dominant at the third math team meet of the year. On Monday, December 17, six of the Minneapolis high schools and one charter school met up at Edison High School for meet #3.

Some statistics from the meet.

  • 109 total students from six schools in the Minneapolis division participated. I attribute the lower than normal turnout to the timing of the meet.
  • 43 Southwest students participated individually at the meet.
  • 40 of the Southwest students scored at least one point. The students all continue to impress me with their eagerness to learn challenging mathematics.
  • Two students from Southwest had the highest individual point total at the meet. One of those students missed a perfect score due to a technicality (his answer needed three decimal places of accuracy).
  • The varsity team (official scoring team) earned 86 of a possible 136 points, continuing their long standing winning streak within the division. That point total should put us within the top 10 teams in the state, based on past history. Southwest was in 12th place overall in the state at the start of the meet. I expect that we will move up in the standings.
  • The junior varsity team earned 41 of a possible 136 points, unofficially finishing in third place within the division at this meet.
