Math Bowl

For the second year, Walker participated in the Math Bowl.  This year it was held at Christ the King School on the eastside of town.

Walker and two friends submitted a design for the shirt and theirs won. 

Because there was such a great interest in participation, we had two teams from St. John.

The score keeper on the right in the blue shirt is our principal’s daughter. She had to stand still for two hours straight! Walker is the yellow shirt in first row, far right.

Scoring is much more complicated than just straight points so even when two schools have the same score, one may be farther ahead than the other. 

The final results were as follows:

11th place:  St. Teresa

10th place:  St. Joe in the Country

9th place:  St. John the Baptist Gold Team

8th place:  Good Shepherd Gold Team

7th place:  West Side Catholic

6th place:  Christ the King

5th place:  St. John the Baptist Blue Team

4th place:  St. Phillip

3rd place:  Good Shepherd Green Team

2nd place:  St. Wendel

1st place:  Resurrection

Walker was on the St. John the Baptist Blue Team.

At the end of the bowl, every participant receives a ribbon and the stream of students is fast and steady.  This was the best I got.  Next year I will remember to bring my zoom lens for Walker’s last year on the Math Bowl Team.
