The State Mathcounts competition was held on March 2, 2013 at the University of South Carolina. The top four students from this state Competition are currently in Washington D.C. competing at the national level.
“Mathcounts is a program for sixth through eighth graders to show their competence and skills in mathematics,” said Marguerite McClam, PE, MathCounts Coordinator for the South Carolina Society of Professional Engineers. “Teams competed in local competition in seven areas around the state. All of these Mathletes were winners before they came to University of South Carolina, and now the top four students from the State competition and the Coach from the top scoring school will now compete at the National Level.”
Volunteers from each of the SCSPE Chapters came to USC to help score.
This year’s winners who are competing currently in Washington D.C. are Jenning Chen, Dent Middle School; Vinita Cheepurupalli, Dent Middle School, Max Land, Dutch Fork Middle School, Gaanpeng, XU, Sterling School. Returning as Coach is Cathy Stinson, Dent Middle School, Columbia, as her team had the highest team score. This will be Coach Stinson’s Fourth trip to Nationals.
These top four individual winners plus the Coach Stinson are at the national competition in Washington D.C.
