For the 18th year in a row Powell Middle School’s eighth grade team placed first overall at the Wyoming State Math Contest.
This year the sixth and seventh grade teams also took the top prize at the contest.
“I didn’t think that was gonna happen,” said Hayden Peters, a member of the winning eighth grade team. “I knew that eighth grade kind of had it, because we have the state math counts team in eighth grade.”
The team was made up of Peters, Cody Bozell and Lydia Waite. A second team of Brady Kuenn, Huston Dearcorn and Gabe Leighton also competed on a separate team and did well individually.
The winning seventh grade team consisted of Colson Sherman, Beth Black and Auzzy Carter. Carter Kruger and Nevaeh Andrews also competed as seventh graders.
The winning sixth grade team was made up of Paele Rapp, Christiano D’Alessandro and Matthew Davis.
Inidivudally Peters placed first, Bozell second, Waite third, Dearcorn fourth, Kuenn fifth and Leighton ninth in the eighth grade division. In seventh grade Sherman placed first and Black tied for third and Carter tied for sixth with Kruger.
In the sixth grade division D’Alessandro placed first, and Rapp and Davis tied for second.
“The mathletes again did an outstanding job. Both Hayden Peters (eighth grade) and Colson Sherman (seventh grade) only missed three problems out of a total of 40 on the individual part of the contest,” coach Dale Estes said. “I have been greatly blessed with many talented and hard working students over the past 30 some years that I have been coaching Mathcounts.”
