Please join me in congratulating our girls on their outstanding performance at GiM last Saturday.

Our A team placed 2nd overall. They placed 2nd in the team round and 3rd in the guts round. Additional congratulations to Hayden Hughes and Avery Xu who placed among the top 10 individual participants.

Girls in Math at Yale is a math team competition open to students from underrepresented genders, including women and non-binary people, and those who are otherwise marginalized. The competition consists of a guts round, a team round, and an individual round. GiM is currently the only girls/non-binary math high school competitions we participate in, as CMWMC no longer falls into this category.

Many thanks to Melody Wu who coached most of the GiM practice sessions and also to our Advanced Workshop instructors: Ethan Shi, Henry Xue, and Sri Seelam who ran an additional GiM session.

Special thank you to the parent coordinators Li Yong and Catherine Zhang who helped with the organizational aspects of the competition. 

Congratulations to all participants, the team coaches, and parents,
