Richland One School Wins State MATHCOUNTS Championship

Richland One congratulates Crayton Middle School’s MATHCOUNTS team which finished first at the South Carolina State MATHCOUNTS competition on March 11th. The Crayton team is led by veteran coach and math teacher John Rushman.

Fourteen schools from across the state, along with several individual participants, battled it out to determine who was "the best of the best" in solving math problems. Crayton has placed first in the state for three out of the last four years.

Overall Crayton students scored as follows:

* Sean Soni - third place
* Caroline Cross - ninth place
* Meredith Nix - twelfth place
* Allison Day - fifteenth place

Sean Soni, who placed second in the Countdown Round, has been invited to attend the national MATHCOUNTS competition as a member of the South Carolina state team. The honors for Crayton don’t end there. Rushman has been selected as the coach for the state team.
