This year, WAMC sent 5 teams to compete at the Math Majors of America Tournament for High Schools 2025 at Yale. 

MMATHS is a country wide high school team competition that was held simultaneously at Yale University, Oakton College, UTD, University of Michigan, University of Iowa, UMD, University of Southern California, University of Florida, and online.

Our teams did a fantastic job. WAMC A team won not only the Yale section, but also placed first nationally! WAMC B team placed 18th in the nation and 11th at Yale and even outperformed the A team in the Guts Round. 

Alex Svoronos, who is still only in middle school, placed first in the individual round across all the locations. Additionally, Max Salvestrini, Jonathan Zhou, Abby Kesmodel, Melody Wu, Girish Prasad, and Henry Xue all placed among the top 50 competitors in the nation. 

Please join me in congratulating our teams on their outstanding results.
