Wayzata High School Math Team Wins State

The team retains its first place status for the fifth year in a row!

The math team took home its fifth consecutive state championship March 12.  This is the team’s eighth championship in the past 10 years. 

Team members at the competition include: seniors Oliver He, Duligur Ibeling, Jacob Kautzky, Sunny Liu, Sahiba Singh, Max Radermacher and Jeff Zhang; juniors Miri Choi, Abram Sanderson and Roy Zhao; sophomores Apekshya Panda and William Zeng; and freshman Jenica Zhong. The team is coached by Tom Kilkelly and William Skerbitz.

The team also had a very successful year in other competitions, most notably the American Mathematics Competition in which eight students progressed to the American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME) level, an exam for students who fall in roughly the top 5 percent of all math students nationwide.
