FA Math Team Captures 10th Consecutive Regional Championship

On March 4, 41 of Fryeburg Academy’s top Mathletes boarded the bus for the final meet of the season at Telstar High School in Bethel Maine. With sharpened pencils and well-oiled cerebra, the varsity FA squad was on their best game against the 14 other Pi-Cone North math teams from throughout West-Central Maine.
The Fryeburg Mars Team finished the season with a total of 1,373 points to capture their 10th consecutive regional title. Oxford Hills High School came in a distant second with 934 points, and the Fryeburg Jupiter Team garnered third place with 895 points for the year.  Fifteen area math teams competed in five regular-season meets in the Pi-Cone North Region— one of the five geographic divisions in the Maine Association of Math League.
