Students earn top honors for Mathematical Olympiads for Elementary and Middle Schools competition

University Liggett School students earned top honors in the Mathematical Olympiads for Elementary and Middle Schools (MOEMS®) competition, including one who earned a perfect score. Students who earn awards are among the best mathematicians in their grade level.

Sixth-grader Quentin Zhou earned the prestigious Dr. George Lenchner medallion for achieving a perfect score of 25/25. Sixth-grader Jack Ingle scored within the top 3-10%, earning a silver pin. Sixth-graders Elliott Duhaime, Jordin Jerks, and Cash Costanzo, and fifth-graders Ameerah Davenport, Ava Fozo, and Connor Curis scored within the top 11-50%. 

Since 1979, Math Olympiads for Elementary and Middle Schools (MOEMSⓇ) have provided challenging and thought-provoking mathematical problems designed to strengthen students' mathematical skills. Participants in Math Olympiads are located in all 50 states, three US territories and 30 foreign countries. This year, there were 4,061 teams and approximately 90,000 participants.  

Twenty-six students from ULS participated in the Math Olympiads program, which was coached by faculty members Jae Lee, Erin Montagne and Han Zhang.
