On the last day of school, the students in Jenny Stoesz’s Precalculus class finally got word that they are the 2014-2015 Minnesota State TrigStar Champions.
Sixteen schools from around the state participated in the trigonometry contest that awards scholarships and prizes at the local, state, and national level. The NRHEG team won the local contest in Mankato on March 13 with the highest overall local team average score on the one hour, one hundred point exam. The state title is awarded to the school with the highest cumulative point total of the top 10 team members. NRHEG will receive the engraved state traveling trophy to display in school next year.
Individually, there were 250 students who participated in the TrigStar competition statewide.
NRHEG students Eli Lutgens and Torrie Stencel, finished second and third in the state rankings, respectively. For his second-place finish, Eli will receive $250 and a silver medal. Torrie will receive $200 and a bronze medal. The first-place winner from each state moves onto the national competition. Congratulations to all of the TrigStar team members on their state title!
