MBA Does Well in State Math Contest

Congratulations to our 54 MBA mathletes who competed in the regional competition of the Tennessee State Math Contest held Lipscomb University on April 20. MBA took first place in four of the six subject areas. Students who finished in the top four in their subject are listed below.

• Algebra II - Tom Bu first place and Hunter Tidwell third place
• Precalculus - Joe Scherrer first place, Stephen Bedard second place, Connor Caldwell third place, and Carter Callaway fourth place
• Calculus - Daniel Todd first place, Kevin Carr third place, and Seth Akers-Campbell fourth place
• Statistics - Karthik Sastry first place, Scott Blackwell and Edward Wilson tied for fourth place
  Karthik Sastry was the only student from all the schools in the region in all six subjects who earned a perfect score on his test. Since the state results are based on this test, Karthik is guaranteed the state championship in Statistics either outright or a tie if someone in another region also earns a perfect score.

MBA hopes to have one or two more state champions since our first place finishers earned very high scores. Overall it was a superb effort by our top student mathletes.
