In an extraordinary victory, the Lyme-Old Lyme High School Varsity Math Team recently won the overall title of the Middlesex County Math League. Comprised of Middlesex County high schools along with Regional Hebron Andover Marlborough (RHAM) High School and Lyme-Old Lyme High School, this League has 11 members and is divided into a large and a small conference. Lyme-Old Lyme is a member of the latter, making this overall championship win for the second consecutive year even more exceptional.
The leaders of the team are seniors Eric Pan and newcomer Jared DiCarlo. Pan has played for four years and recruited teammate DiCarlo last year. Pan was recognized as the highest scorer as a freshman, sophomore, junior and again this year. As a senior, this accomplishment was recognized with a scholarship. DiCarlo also scored very well and similarly earned a scholarship for his second highest score of all seniors.
The team consists of five official scoring members of which only two can be seniors and at least one must be a freshman or sophomore. These junior members also contributed to the success, especially junior Ryan Harty who scored the most of any junior in the League.
Other contributors to the team include senior Thomas Roth, juniors Austin Pilgrim, Evan Deng and Jason Feng, sophomores Jeff Zhang, Natalie Rugg, Laura Lee Wayland and Cole Dushin and freshmen Reed Spitzer and Gabriel Zumbaum-Stephens.
Congratulations to the team and their coach Glenn Elliott on this amazing result!
