2006 - HIGHLIGHTS & ACHIEVEMENTS

Homeschool MathCounts Team Wins 1st Place

March 2006

Saturday, March 25th was a day of excitement for Veritas Homeschoolers Rebecca Woodbury, Jonathan Horton, Joshua Steele, and Jonny Woodbury. Since earning their places on the team in January, these four individuals have been working towards this day.

Chapter Competition

First stop along the way was the chapter competition held in February where the team tied for first place and where Joshua and Jonathan came in 1st and 2nd individually overall. Tying for 1st place at the chapter competition earned the team the right to compete at the state competition on Saturday, March 25th in Tucson.

State Competition

The day was beautiful, the setting was grand, and the kids were nervous! Setting all of that aside, the Veritas team entered the testing room ready to do their best, and that is exactly what they did. At the end of the day, 1st and third place individual awards went to Jonathan and Joshua respectively, and 1st place overall team went to Veritas!

National Competition

Next Step: Arlington, VA, where Jonathan and Joshua will be two of the four members of the team representing Arizona, and Pam Woodbury, the Veritas coach, will be the official state coach.
