Senior Sucharita Jayanti placed first for the the season and Senior Wendy Guan placed in the top ten overall for the season.

The Intermediate division (grades 9 - 10) ranked first for the year after winning three of four meets and placing second at the last one. Freshman Katherine Chen placed second overall for the season, with Siddhartha Jayanti, Daniel Hernandez-Martinez and Matthew Jin placing in the top ten overall for the season.

The Math Team also participated in six on-site meets sponsored by the New England Math Leagues. Hanover earned the third-highest overall score among participating NH schools. Our top five HHS competitors were Daniel Hernandez-Martinez, Sucharita Jayanti, Matthew Jin, Katherine Chen, and Scout Wallace.

On March 25, the Hanover Math Team went to Plymouth where we placed third for our division.
