80 students vie in Wabash County
math contest at Manchester College
Eighty area middle and junior high school students competed in the 12th
Annual Wabash County Junior High Mathematics Contest held at Manchester
College on March 22.
Seventh-grader Cory Metzger of Southwood Junior High and eighth-grader
Jacob Brumbaugh-Smith of Manchester Junior High captured first-place
individual honors. Jacob also was on the winning team that included
Brandon England of Northfield Junior High, Jacob Gutzwiller of Southwood
and Mallori Kastner of Wabash Middle School. First-place winners
received TI-83 calculators.
The contest was sponsored by the College’s Department of Mathematics and
Computer Science in cooperation with the four schools and coordinated by
Jim Brumbaugh-Smith, associate professor of mathematics. Ten
seventh-graders and 10 eighth-graders from each school competed.
Individual competition consisted of a 30-minute written exam and a
15-minute “flash” round of questions. Team members worked on 14
more-difficult questions in 30 minutes.
“It was a great success – we had enthusiastic participation by the
students,” said Andrew F. Rich, associate professor of mathematics, who
oversaw several of the contest events. “They had a great time competing
and being with other math-inclined students. And of course they enjoyed
the pizza.”
Teachers assisting included: Tammy Allen and Laura Koczan of Manchester
Junior High School; Jill Glasscock and Vindy Pace of Northfield Junior
High; Carl Pace and Collin Boggs of Southwood Junior High; Joey Till of
Wabash Middle School; and LaVonne Sparling of the Wabash MSD.
