We would like to congratulate all of the competitors! There is a lot of training and practice throughout the school year that prepares each student for regionals.<\/p>\n

Thank you to all the coaches, parents, chaperones, judges and of course, all of the volunteers who helped make this event another huge success!<\/p>\n

A special thank you to our UFV Organizers from the Math & Stats Department Margret Bollerup<\/strong>, Ian Affleck<\/strong> and Kseniya Garaschuk. <\/strong><\/p>\n
