Birchwood Turns in a Third Place at MATHCOUNTS
The Northeast Ohio MATHCOUNTS Chapter Competition was held on February 18, 2017 with the Birchwood School of Hawken team placing third out of 16 teams.
Birchwood’s team consisted of Praveen Kumar, Shruthi Ravichandran, Jane Nilson, and Zuha Jaffar.
Individually, Praveen Kumar earned a second place finish and advanced to the state competition in March.
The Birchwood team’s success can be attributed directly to their hard work. “They have been practicing challenging math problems on Thursdays and Saturdays since mid-October,” said math coach Charles
Debelak who has been coaching the Birchwood team for more than 25 years.
