A C A D E M I C R E S U LT S Academic Games
Academic Games The Academic Games team resumed in-person competition this year. At the local level, the junior division team placed first in Propaganda. Individually, Max Bartlett and Christian Smith finished in 4th and 5th place, respectively. Additionally, Bartlett tied for first in On-Sets and Mason Becker placed first in Propaganda. In April, the team traveled to Knoxville, TN, to compete in the national tournament. The junior team placed 2nd in Current Events, 3rd in Equations, and 4th in Presidents. Their hard work culminated in an overall finish of 5th place in sweepstakes. The team is continuing to grow, and Jesuit is expected to have a strong senior division team for the 2022-23 season. Next year’s national tournament will be held in Orlando, FL.
Mu Alpha Theta For only the second time in 60 years, Jesuit’s math honor society claimed a state championship at the annual Louisiana Mu Alpha Theta State Convention. Fifty-eight students represented Jesuit in Baton Rouge. The following Jays placed in the top 3 of the convention’s events. In the Area Test results, Aiden Wang (Geometry) and Max Daly (Advanced Math) took 1st while Peter Lev 32 | J A Y N O T E S | S P R I N G / S U M M E R 2 0 2 2
(Algebra II) came in 3rd. In the Individual Test results, William Bellott and Pete Metzinger earned 1st and 2nd in Algebra II. Dylan Bracey (Scholarship) and Luc Carriere (AB Calculus) placed 3rd in their categories. The Geometry students swept the competition, raking in 80% of the top 10 spots– Carter Jennings, Andrew Duncan, and Henry Lackey took the top three spots, respectively. In the Games Results for the three rounds of four different types of games, 48 of Jesuit’s 58 attendees went on to rank in the top five teams of each game. All but four students ended up in the finals. In the “Descartes” team, Bracey (Calculus BC) took 2nd, and Raahil Rab (Algebra II) took 3rd. In the “Hustle” team, Taylor Trepagnier, Ethan Benoit, Dylan
Falcon, and Bellott all earned 3rd place. The Calculus team (Matthew Vuong and Ethan Waugaman) took 3rd; the Precalculus team ( Wade Rogers and Asher Terrell) finished in 2nd; the two Algebra II teams, Mason Becker and Charlie Garitty and the second made up of Jonathan Jordan and Cole Maestri, claimed 1st and 3rd place respectively; and the Geometry team of Casey Cognevich and Salvatore Esola earned 1st place. In the Math Bowl Finals for Ciphering, Jesuit outnumbered the competition again by ranking in the top four teams at every level of competition. The Algebra II team (Parker Alig, Metzinger, Dylan Patel, and David Paul) and the Geometry team (Duncan, Lackey, Ethan Lapeze, and Evans Wise) took 1st place. The Algebra II team (Garrett Orgeron, Peyton Warden, Diego Fernandez, and Charlie Pullen), the Calculus BC team (Michael Paul Fine, Nick Nobile, Jack Scott, and Shreyash Singh), the Precalculus team (Leo Garcia, Daniel Lee, Jake Palo, and Preston Rumney) and the Geometry team (Jennings, Rishab Prabhu, Carter Rigney, and Jackson Sober) all took 3rd place. On the interschool test, Precalculus students worked together in the Alpha Division to place 3rd for the weekend. In the Theta Division, Algebra II and Geometry students comfortably came in 1st place.
