Earlier this month, the Smith Middle School MathCounts Team won their MathCounts Chapter Competition at Athens Drive High in Raleigh, coming in first out of 28 teams. The win qualified the Smith team for the state finals, to be held at the N.C. School of Science and Math in Durham on March 16. Smith had more than 70 students participate in the MathCounts program this year, and while it has consistently fielded strong teams, this is the first time the team has won its chapter competition.
