They have also finished the season with the eighth highest point total in the state of Minnesota out of over 170 participating schools. The varsity team will participate in the state tournament on March 8th.
There are over 1600 individual competitors in the state. We have two of the very best right here at our school.
Rose Milivitz finished the season with 61 total points out of a possible 70. She is tied for 14th place overall in the state rankings.
Jason Paller-Rzepka finished the season with 68 total points out of a possible 70. He is tied for 3rd place overall. His accomplishment will be recognized at the state tournament on March 8th at South St. Paul High School.
Both Rose and Jason will participate in the Invitational Tournament on the morning of March 8th. The students with the ten best scores at the invitational tournament participate in the Math Bowl…it’s sort of like a homerun contest before the MLB All Star Game.
The scoring team will participate in the team tournament during the afternoon on March 8th.
