Local students place well at annual math meet

Broadus high school students are continuing to gain recognition for their scholastic abilities. At the annual Mathematics Meet in Baker, sponsored by the Montana Council of Teachers of Mathematics, one local team tied for second and 17 of the 28 Broadus students attending either received Superior or Honorable Mention.

There was a total of 73 teams competing and about 450 students from A, B and C Class schools, so the competition was extremely tough, according to local instructors Kit Goodwin and Wendy Vallejo. “We’re really proud of our kids,” said Mrs. Vallejo. “There were a lot of other teams there and a lot of kids. It was quite an accomplishment for so many of our kids to do so well.”

The team of Steve Strobel, Chad Harrington, Bryan Strobel, Vikki Richards, Sonya Lind and Lyssa Thaden tied for second place honors in the Senior Division.

In individual competition, senior academic standout and class Valedictorian hopeful Steve Strobel placed the local students with a first-place finish in Trigonometry, an Honorable Mention in Algebra II and a fifth-place win in Problem Solving. Sonya Lind and Kassie Askin both received Honorable Mentions in Pot Luck and Stacey Alderman and Bryan Strobel received Honorable Mention in Algebra I. Vikki Richards placed in the Problem Solving Test with an Honorable Mention. Lyssa Thaden went on to tie for third place in Geometry and fifth in the test for sophomore students. Bryan Strobel tied for fourth place in Problem Solving and Janey Earley received an Honorable Mention in Geometry.

Other participating with the Secondary (Senior) Division were Rhonda Rosencranz, Rochelle Thompson and Dori Barbero.

In the Junior Division, Shep Vail and Tami Archer paced the efforts of their fellow students by placing in three out of the four events they were entered in. Shep received a Superior in General Math, a Superior in Percent and an Honorable Mention in Problem Solving. Tami received a Superior in General Math, a Superior in Number Theory and an Honorable Mention in Pot Luck. Amy Ullrich received an Honorable Mention in Pot Luck and General Math and her sister, Jennifer received an Honorable Mention in Geometry and Number Theory. Tavy Turnbough, Lanessa Stradtman and Jason Amende all received Honorable Mentions in General Math. J.J. Landa received an Honorable Mention in Geometry and LeAnn Brimmer received Honorable Mention in Number Theory.

Also participating in the Junior Division events were Bonnie Lind, Stephanie Minow, Shawn Samuelson, Amy Fredrickson, Lauri Morella, Eleno Vallejo and Micky Sanburn.

Morgan shoots perfect score

Rob Morgan, son of Bub and Gaylene Morgan, shot the perfect score of 600 points at the Northwest Sectional Archery Tournament in Laurel on April 8 and 9.

Each archer shoots 120 arrows from a distance of 20 yards. Each arrow hitting the 3 inch “bull’s eye” scores five points. Ties are broken by counting the one and one-half “x ring” shots in the center of the “bull’s eye.” One hundred and four of Morgan’s arrows were “x’s”.

He placed third in the competition, being narrowly beat out by two veteran archers, scoring 600 points with 105 and 112 “x rings.”

Gaylene Morgan also placed third in her division with 512 points.

Competition in the Northwest Sectionals are from Montana, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming and Alaska.
