In seventh grade, the top five finishers are Alan Hatlestad of Casper, Sarah Shader of Laramie, Deavon Mauch and Jace Jacob of Gillette and Brandon Wehrle of Rock Springs.
Over 1,600 Wyoming high school and junior high students from 69 schools plus home schooled students and one group of sixth graders gathered at 10 locations across the state the day of the contest to take a battery of five 10-question, 20-minute-long mathematics tests.
District awards were presented at each of the 10 testing locations. The statewide contest is sponsored and organized by the Wyoming Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the Wyoming Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges.
