Please join me in congratulating our WAMC teams on their performance at Purple Comet 2024!

Purple Comet! is a world-wide team competition and all four of our teams competed in the Mixed Teams category. Mixed teams are designed for home schooled students, students who all attend the same regional mathematics club, or some other non-school organization.

Our teams placed 1st, 2nd, 4th and 7th in New York, and all placed among the top 20% in the world. The high school A Team and the middle school Blue Team both placed in the top 10% in the world

Many thanks to Alicia Zhu who prepared our middle school teams and to the Advanced Workshop instructors: Andrew Tu, Vikram Sarkar, and Derek Xu who prepared our high school teams.

Special thank you to the parent coordinators Mingzhi Chen and Jianping Shi. WAMC wouldn't be able to organize so many team competitions without significant help from many involved parents and students.
