Rundlett Middle School Mathcounts Team Finishes 4th in Competition

Congratulations to Alysa Alderete, Dylan Burbank, Matt Chorlian, and Srilekha Nuli who represented Rundlett Middle School’s Mathcounts Team at last weekend’s regional tournament.

The team battled with 17 other teams in a highly competitive series of events which required all players to solve measure, estimate, analyze, and apply a host of problem solving skills. Rundlett Middle School’s Mathcounts Team finished in fourth place at the regional match that was held on Feb. 2, at Lurgio Middle School in Bedford.

Shrelaka Nuli‘s excellent work at the individual level has earned her a position at the State Competition on March 9. Good luck Shrelaka!
