The Southwest High School Math Team had their best meet of the year on Monday. Five of the Minneapolis high schools and one charter school met up at Edison High School for the third Math Team meet of the year. I’m very proud of how much some of these students studied the extra material necessary to do well on the event questions.
Some statistics from the meet:
• 139 total students from six schools in the Minneapolis division participated.
• 64 Southwest students participated individually at the meet.
• 60 of the Southwest students scored at least one point. The questions are getting difficult, so this is a remarkable achievement level.
• Four of the top five scores at the meet were Southwest students.
• Seven students from Minneapolis earned at least 10 points…six of those students were from Southwest.
• The varsity team (official scoring team) earned 95 of a possible 136 points, finishing in first place within the division. We started the day in 21th place out of 170 teams in the state. We should move up in the rankings a bit.
• The junior varsity team earned 57 of a possible 136 points. That is good enough to unofficially finish third in the division. They would have finished first, but one team member took the wrong event. Oops.
