First Southwest Math Team Results

The Southwest High School Math Team was well represented at Meet #1.

On Monday, November 7, five of the Minneapolis high schools and one charter school met up at Patrick Henry High School for the first meet of the year.

Some statistics from the meet.
164 total students from six schools in the Minneapolis division participated
80 Southwest students participated individually at the meet
78 of the Southwest students scored at least one point. This is one of our highest success ratios ever.

One student from Southwest had the second highest individual point total at the meet.

The varsity team (official scoring team) earned 62 of a possible 136 points, finishing in first place within the division. It was not our all-time best effort, but still respectable. Official state rankings are unknown at this point.

New Debate Topic First Tournament

Twenty members of the Debate Team moved off into the mornings hours for a debate tournament using the second topic dealing with foreign policy. The chill of the morning air did not dampen the spirit of the teams. With parent volunteers gathering, bringing food, and dropping off the debaters the thrill of the upcoming event heightened.

The Debate Team has done well so far this year and is moving into the second half of the season. State tournament is the first weekend in December. Several more weeks for the teams to earn the hardware and enjoy the moments of victory.
