Scarsdale MS Mathcounts Team Win Regional Competition

SCARSDALE, NY — For the 10th year in a row, the Scarsdale Middle School Mathcounts team took first place at the recent Westchester/Putnam Mathcounts Competition. Eighteen schools were represented, according to coach Steve Weiss.

The Scarsdale students survived a rigorous selection process that began in December, Weiss said. At Pace University, a team of four as well as the six additional students competed by doing a variety of testing individually and as a team.

Mathcounts is a national program run by the National Society of Professional Engineers.

Competition begins at the county level and qualifying schools advance to the state competition.

First place Scarsdale will be joined by Briarcliff and Ardsley at RPI in Troy March 7. The top four students then qualify for the New York State national team that will compete in Orlando.
