PLYMOUTH — The team from Campton Elementary coached by Dave Hamnett captured first place in the regional Mathcounts competition for elementary and middle school-age students held at Plymouth State University on February 7. Megan Fife of Winnisquam Regional Middle School was the individual champion.
55 students from 10 different schools participated in the regional event. The top three teams qualified to complete in the state championship competition on March 7. The team from Belmont Middle School coached by Carol Gadomski came in second, followed by the team from Laconia Middle School coached by Bob Clay.
Two Campton students — Roger Babin and Iyan Siwik — finished right behind Megan Fife in the individual competition. Joey Spinale from Belmont was fourth. All will compete in the state event, as will three other students who placed individually in the top ten, though their teams finished lower than third. That list includes Ethan Whitman and Jacelyn Laclair of Plymouth Elementary and Sophie Leggett of Gilford Middle School.
