Thirty-four of North Carolina’s sharpest high school mathematics students recently competed in the 31st annual American Regions Mathematics League (ARML) Meet in Athens, GA. It included 148 teams from 47 states in the US and 17 international teams. Teams from Canada, Columbia, the Phillipines and Macaw competed on-site, while teams from China, Germany, Russia, Taiwan and Turkey participated via the internet.
The North Carolina A-1 Team took first place at their site and placed seventh in the nation. Gray Symon and Andrew Hertzog, both of Chapel Hill High, were on this team. Three other CHCCS students served on the A-2 team or were alternates. They are Zijing Goa of Smith Middle School, Yu Want of Phillips Middle and Tianyi Wei of East Chapel Hill High School.
The North Carolina Teams are sponsored by the North Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics with generous help from the Duke Energy Foundation.
