The Middle School Math Team finished first in the statewide Connecticut MathCounts competition, held at Yale University on March 1.

Brunswick came out on top in a field of 24 public and private schools from across the state. This is the second state title for Middle School mathletes –– the first was in 2019.

About 200 students from across Connecticut qualified for the statewide contest, competing individually and in teams. 

“For us to beat the favorite and incredibly talented team from Eastern Middle School is such an amazing performance from our group, top to bottom,” Head Coach Kevin Landesman said. “I could not be any prouder of this team. They were determined to do whatever it took to make this happen. They earned this title as a team.”

In addition, Brunswick seventh grader Alex Svoronos ’30 finished first overall individually, earning one of four spots on Team Connecticut at the upcoming national competition in Washington, D.C., in May.

And, as a result of the team victory, Landesman has earned the right to coach the Connecticut team at the MathCounts national competition.

“To have the opportunity to coach Team Connecticut for a second time will be one the biggest honors of my professional career,” Landesman said.

Competing for Brunswick on Saturday were team captain Luca Tichio ’29, along with Svoronos, Becka Kvirikadze ’29, and Ethan Rabin ’29. Also competing were Danny Follansbee ’30, Toluwa Tobun ’30, Bradey Sherman ’29, and Boti Vadkerti ’29.
