OMAthalon Results!

---

The Senior OMAthalon competition was held last Thursday at Logan Park High School.  For the seniors, this is a “pub quiz” style mathematics competition.  It can involve names of famous mathematicians, letters from the Greek alphabet, prime numbers less than 200 and general mathematical problem-solving.

The Year 11 team of Maxwell R, Tee K, Charles R, Adrian P started off well – winning the first round comfortably and then ended up placing 4th overall.  A great effort since they were competing against Year 12 and 13 students.

The Junior OMAthalon competition was held last night.  We had several teams entered in all year groups from 7 – 10.  It was great to see some very excited and competitive students involved in mathematics and running.

Congratulations to all the boys who were part of the competition, and special mention to the following teams.
