Students from 13 JCPS middle school teams participated in the MATHCOUNTS district competition at Johnston Community College on Friday, December 6th. The competition consists of four separate rounds, including sprint, target, team, and countdown.
Our North Johnston Middle team earned FIRST place in the event. Team members on the first place team were Grayden Foster, Aiden Ernst, Claire Kornegay, & Sophia Zenobi.
This team will now advance to the regional competition in February. Aiden Ernst and Sophia Zenobi placed in 2nd and 7th in the individual round, respectively, which qualified them to compete in the Countdown round of the competition. Aiden Ernst then placed first in the Countdown round. Sophia Zenobi received a medal for answering the most questions correctly in the Countdown round. Congratulations to all of our participating students!
