Huge congratulations to our three team members, Killian Kvalvik, Thomas Hameister, and Zhaoyi Liu, who placed 32nd in the team competition. (Last year we placed 27th.) We had three students in the top 500 individually: Sohil Shah, Zhaoyi Liu, and Thomas Hameister. Besides the top-scorers, several students did very well, and the median score of the 11 UW students was 22. Great job everyone who took the exam!
