Advancing to State​

In addition to the 4 teams members

• Theta Back

two additional students advanced as individual contestants to the state contest:

• Ethan Zhu
• Amrita Sarangi

If our chapter had been allowed to send 8 students as in previous years, the runner ups would have been Shaun Mackey, Sara Awate, and Dennis Zhao.

We will thus be sending 6 students to the State round, which takes place Mar 2 in Fredericksburg. Congratulations to all!

Thank you to Mrs. Bonnie Caldwell for accompanying us on the trip and for principal Dr. Johnson to sponsor it.
