The results of the 29th Virginia Tech regional contest are in. There were a total of 397 students from 67 colleges (among them: Princeton, Duke, Purdue, Carnegie Mellon, Johns Hopkins, North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Michigan, Virginia) participating this year.

16 Rochester students took the 7 problem test (perfect score: 70 points) to be completed in 2.5 hours. Our Putnam team formed by Cheng Sun, Chris Kauffman and Michael Wijaya, had a great performance: Cheng was ranked 9th with 50 points, Chris placed 51st, while Michael was in the 81st position. Also, Li Li, Ryan McMichael and Raisa Trubko had distinguished performances in this contest.

Congratulations to all of them and good luck in the upcoming Putnam exam!
