Leon Ding competes in national math tournament as member of a MN All-Star Team

On Saturday June 2, Spring Lake Park High School junior Leon Ding participated in the American Regions Mathematics League (ARML) national math tournament as a member of one of three Minnesota All-State Teams.

Each year, ARML holds a national contest pitting teams from throughout the United States. The hundreds of participating teams are state all-star teams or city or school all-star teams.

Leon competed on Minnesota’s “Maroon” team (the others were “Gold” and White). Due to the team’s success in the past, it was moved from division B to the top division A this year. If the team had remained in division B, it would have placed 6th overall in this national math tournament.
