Winners in Math Competition
Students from the Springville-Griffith Institute in Springville, N.Y., and Portville (N.Y.) Central School took the top honors at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford-Jamestown (N.Y.) Community College Mathematics Competition held last week.
Mitchell Steiner of Springville-Griffith was the overall winner. Steiner won by making the top score on a two-hour math examination administered to 85 high school students from nine New York and Pennsylvania high schools at Pitt-Bradford on Thursday.
The competition is organized jointly by the mathematics departments of Pitt-Bradford and JCC. The location of the competition alternates each year.
“The competition is a great opportunity for students to interact with students from other schools, to solve interesting math problems and to get familiarized with our campus,” said Marius Buliga, assistant professor of mathematics who organized the competition for Pitt-Bradford this year.
As overall winner, Steiner was also declared the top scorer among Division I schools. Division I schools were those with more than 500 students in grades 9 through 12.
Morgan Costanza of Portville Central (N.Y.) High School was the top scorer among the Division II schools, those with fewer than 500 students in grades 9 through 12. Both Steiner and Costanza received trophies and a $1,500 scholarship to Pitt-Bradford.
Springville-Griffith also took home the first-place team trophy for Division I. In addition to Steiner, other students on the winning team, advised by Tammy Pattison, were Krista Kellner, Andrew Krolikowski, Jake Maeder, Kelsey McCauley, Seth Runge, Jessica Santonocito, Jon Schurr, Amanda Wach and Justin Zwolski.
