Southwest Dominates First Math Meet of the Year


The Southwest High School Math Team was well represented at Meet #1. On Monday, November 4, six of the Minneapolis high schools and one charter school met up at Roosevelt Henry High School for the first meet of the year.

Some statistics from the meet:

  • 140 total students from seven schools in the Minneapolis division participated
  • 63 Southwest students participated individually at the meet
  • 56 of the Southwest students scored at least one point by correctly answering at least one question
  • One student from Southwest had the highest individual point total at the meet – Congratulations to Lily Ren who earned a perfect 14 points!
  • The Varsity Team (official scoring team) earned 79 of a possible 136 points, finishing in first place within the division. That point total should put us in with the top 15-20 teams in the state, based on past history.
  • The junior varsity team earned 46 of a possible 136 points, unofficially finishing in third place within the division.
