I'm pleased to announce that MVMS students did an amazing job in many tournaments and events this year. I've collected here some of the final contests we did.
I) Chesapeake Math Program Awards of Excellence
II) Mathcounts State
III) Carderock and ARML Tournaments
IV) Algebra I Math League Contest
V) Fort Washington Tournament
I) CHESAPEAKE MATH PROGRAM AWARDS OF EXCELLENCE
Each year, CMP gives out awards of excellence to our top students. Given that I had nearly 500 participants eligible this year, it was difficult to pick overall winners without leaving out deserving students. As a result, for each school with large programs such as MVMS, awards of excellence were given to the top students for the year, taking into account all the contests and programs we've done. For schools with fewer students in CMP, the schools were combined together for the awards medals.

Alternates Contest
Alternates do the same tournament as the official competitors. Although they aren't eligible to win official awards, they can rank in the alternates contest. This provides a way to acknowledge students who came close to qualifying for the official contests and gives the students the fun of doing the contest. It is considered an honor to be selected as an alternate.

III) CARDEROCK/ARML
The Carderock Math Contest is held at the Naval base in Bethesda. It is one of the most prestigious middle school math contests on the Eastern Seaboard, drawing top ranked students from Maryland, DC, and Virginia. Our two Chesapeake teams competed in Division A (Port Division), which is more difficult that State Mathcounts in the caliber of teams and students competing. Team Chesapeake A1 took first place in Division A and team Chesapeake A2 took eleventh place in Division A, putting both teams on the caliber of national teams in Mathcounts.

Tournament Honor Roll: Akshay Kannan
Akshay was also selected for the Chesapeake team at the American Regions Math League. The ARML tournament is one of the premier team math contests in the world. Considered the "World Series" of mathematics, it normally involves only high school students. However, exceptionally talented middle school students sometimes attend. Approximately 2000 students participated in the ARML tournament at four sites around the USA and also in various countries including Canada and abroad. Akshay tied for first place on the team of 15 high school and middle school students. In Division B, the team placed 6th in the world in the junior varsity division and 41st overall at Penn State.
