MSSM’s famed math team showed the state just how numerically inclined they are by winning the Division A State Math Meet held in Portland on May 5. MSSM students were awarded a unheard of seven medals (of a possible ten). While two students were too engrossed in their proofs to put down their pens, all mathletes attending practice on Friday took a moment to gather around their trophy. Mathletes include, from left, front row: Wesley Zeng of Presque Isle, James Lee of Farmingdale, Robert Costa of Machiasport and James Jelin of Kennebunkport. Second row: math coaches (and teachers) Ryan Badecker and Luke Shorty, Klaas Pruiksma of Lewiston, MinKyu Kim of Wolpyeong-Dong, Korea, Thomas Murphy of Rocksport and math coach/teacher Pete Pederson. Please see next week’s issue of the Aroostook Republican for a story of the team’s victory at States.
