Math team to state
The Bishop Garrigan math team
was able to compete in only four of the six Great Plains Math League
state-qualifying contests this school year. Three team members also took
the Power Question contest in mid-March in a last attempt to qualify for
state. Four team members will be continuing on to state competition at Iowa
City West on Saturday, April 19. This is the first time any of the four
have qualified for state, and the qualifiers include seniors Kent Recker and
Melanie Myers (Melanie qualified twice), junior Ben Hellman and freshman
Alex Hamilton.
The math team placed in three
of the four competitions this year. The varsity was third at in December, while the junior varsity (made up of
freshmen and sophomores only) finished second. At in January, the j.v. placed second. At the Bishop
Garrigan tournament in February, the varsity won the small school division.
There was no separate junior varsity competition at Bishop Garrigan or at
the fourth competition at Dordt in March.
Good luck to Kent, Melanie,
Ben and Alex at State.
Envirothon results
At the regional Envirothon,
there are four categories and a Bishop Garrigan team won each category.
Andrew Elbert, Garrett
Elbert, Brad Richter, D.J. Thompson and David Miller won the Aquatics
category. Dana Miller, Brian Funk, Matt Elbert, Meghan Mayer and Alex Dodds
won the Forestry category. Shane Koob, Joe Straub, Rebeccah Erdman, D.J.

Bishop Garrigan’s top scoring
team placed second overall and missed state competition by just four
points—maybe next year!
