Hung helps Pony math team to fifth-place finish at States

lo-mathhungmug-dcX-po-17    Congratulations to coach Wayne Strout and the Foxcroft Academy math team, which finished as the regular-season Eastern Maine Class B champion and then placed fifth at the state championship meet in Bangor last week.
    Four Ponies earned individual accolades at the state meet for placing very high in their class. Alex Hung posted the top score among all juniors in the state, Melody Zhuang finished third among seniors, Tony Tang was fourth among juniors and Michael Wang was sixth among sophomores.

Hung

    Hung wrapped up a tremendous junior season by earning a spot on the Maine All-Star Team and will represent the state in a competition at Penn State University next month. Strout described Hung’s season as “incredible” and was also effusive in his praise of the work done by Zhuang, his senior captain, whom he called “perhaps the most organized and efficient captain I can remember — she was an invaluable help organizing sheets and doing so many little things that go unnoticed.”
