Solving challenging math problems in a fast-paced environment with their peers cheering them on, 11 St. Margaret’s Middle School students competed in the 11th annual Math Counts Competition last week in Hurlbut Theater.

Each Middle School student at St. Margaret’s took a qualifying test in their math class, which was used to determine the top four in each grade level that would participate in the competition. The 11 competitors were Kate, Devin and Alex Kenny from grade 8, Rex, Radley Copps, Rishabh Mallela and Ronin McMahon in grade 7, and Renee Andrade, Abby Hancock, Drew Otto and Maggie Wang in grade 6.
