Oak Hill Academy Students Take Home 13 Trophies at Mathleague.org Competition

On Thursday, October 23, eighteen Oak Hill Academy students competed in an elementary mathematics contest sponsored by Mathleague.org. This regional competition was held at the Ranney School in Tinton Falls. Mathleague.org sponsors a number of elementary school contests to be held throughout the country each school year.

The contests are structured in such a way that students find the tests good preparation for other elementary and junior high math contests. Top-scoring students at qualifying meets held throughout the year are invited to compete at their state’s championship in May, and winners of the state championships are invited to a national championship in June.

The contest features a number sense round, target round, sprint round, and team round.

For the 4th grade participants, Oak Hill took home the top 4 awards: 1st Place – Michael Gao, 2nd Place – Thibaut Fabricant, 3rd Place – Robert Schweikert, and 4th Place – Audrey Yan.

For the 5th Grade participants, Oak Hill had 6 out of the top 7 award recipients: 1st Place – Alexander Mitchell, 2nd Place – Aarya Doshi, 3rd Place – Elizabeth Wright, 5th Place – Molly Jain, 6th Place – Brandon Klatsky, and 7th Place – Justin Weber.

There were many participants in the 6th Grade and Oak Hill earned three trophies: 2nd Place – Grant D’Orsi, 5th Place – Nicholas Geissler, and 6th Place Jessica Yatvitskiy.

Seventeen of Oak Hill’s eighteen students who attended qualified to move on to the state competition in May. This included Michael Gao, Thibaut Fabricant, Audrey Yan, Aarya Doshi, Maria Giannakopoulos, Molly Jain, Brandon Klatsky, Alexander Mitchell, Justin Weber, Elizabeth Wright, Simar Arora, Grant D’Orsi, Mason Garber, Nicholas Geissler, Raymond Shen, Sydney Yan, and Jessica Yatvitskiy.

Their success can be attributed to their hard work, as well as their challenging math curriculum at Oak Hill.
