Bonner Springs student named a winner in math competition

A Bonner Springs student was on a University of Kansas team that took second place in the ninth Kansas Collegiate Math Competition.

The competition was held March 29 at Emporia State University.

Second-place team members were Bridget Davis, a senior in computer science and mathematics from Bonner Springs, Ryan Endres, a senior in aerospace engineering from Lenexa, and Grace Garrison, a senior in aerospace engineering from Shawnee.

Students work individually for three hours on five challenging math problems, which are then graded by coaches. The competition was part of the annual meeting of the Kansas section of the Mathematical Association of America.
