High School Math League is having a great season. This year, like many other activities they had meetings on zoom. Practices were held every Monday at around 5:45, and their meets were at 6 o’clock. There are 6 members this year which include two seniors, Isaiah Wildenberg and Mitchell McManus, two juniors, Kristopher Kehrberg and Samuel Coyle, Angel Zheng, a freshman, and Thomas Coyle, an eighth-grader. “Math League was certainly different this year with being online and only having half a team, but I think we were all close enough to maintain a little community spirit,” says Isaiah Wildenberg. 

Meet one was on Monday, November 2. They had 2 practices before the meet and were prepared to earn some points for the team. The team ended up with a total of 42 points. The points are added up by each of the members of the team taking 2 tests with 7 points and the team test with 20 points. The Cannon Fall High School Math League team ended up winning first for that meet in the Wasioja Division and first in the Section. Meet two was on Monday, November 23. The team ended up with a total of 41 points and placed second in the Section. Meet three was on Monday, December 14.
