Math Team on the Map

By Jon Kraft

The newly resurrected in 2010-11 NCHS Mathematics Team attracted 14 students; they participated in mathematics competitions at University of Wisconsin-Stevens Points against about 75 schools from the surrounding area.

From those competing students, Erin Kast, participating in the advanced division, placed 6th out of 67 students in division 3. Andrew Dushek placed 16th of 63 students in the algebra II division, while Morgan Lukes earned a rank of 45th out of 88 students over the course of three meets. In the geometry division, Bradley Miller ranked 4th out of 62 students taking the exam. Danielle Gorski and Teagan Leitzke also placed high across the three meets, ranking 10th and 34th respectively out of 83 students.

Among others, Nicholas Cornell, Nicole Cornell, Nate Martin, Sam McCarty, and Taylor Thomas participated in the advanced group. Emily Coates took part in the algebra II category, while Thomas Kita and Michael Meister competed in the geometry group.

Though the outlook for next year's team is unknown, the driving forces behind mathematics at Newman Catholic High School will surely shine.
