Mathletes were in the spotlight at the school system's 3rd Annual Wicomico County Math 24 Game Tournament at The Commons at Salisbury University. This year's event was made even more special because the inventor of the Math 24 Game, Robert Sun, attended the tournament and also visited several schools. At Northwestern and East Salisbury schools, he presented certificates to students who scored in the top 100 in the state on First in Math. For Thursday night's tournament, each elementary school sent one champion per grade level (grades 1-5) for a total of 55 contestants, and middle schools sent two student winners per grade level (grades 6-8) for a total of 30 contestants. These grade-level champions from throughout Wicomico County competed to become county champion. M&T Bank donated $4,500 to the school system for this year's Math 24 Game program, and the Wicomico Public Library provided support.
