Bloomfield Students Compete on All-Star Team of "Mathletes"

The Michigan All-Stars are a team of "mathletes", 45 of the top high school students in the state, who come together in the spring to practice and compete in a national team math competition, the American Regions Math League (ARML, www.arml.com) competition. This is the 24th year that Michigan has participated in the event.

The contest was held on June 1, with 3 teams from Michigan traveling to the midwest site at the University of Iowa.

Each team gave a notable performance. The Michigan A1 Reals placed 15th nationally out of 78 teams in the A division and 2nd at the Iowa competition.  The Michigan A2 Naturals ranked 59th nationally, and the Michigan B1 Primes participated in the B division, placing 15th nationally out of 61 teams and 5th at the Iowa site.

Students hailed from all over the Detroit and Ann Arbor areas, with three Bloomfield Hills residents: Jackie Bredenberg of Detroit Country Day, who was an individual high scorer, Divya Goel of International Academy, and Daniel Lin of Cranbrook.
