Mathletes

By Alex Beckwith

At Hopkinton High School, there are many alternatives to conventional sports that still offer a nice level of competition. One of these activities is the math team, which is led by co captains Sam Verbanic and Melissa Levy. Verbanic says that one of the main things that separates math team from other sports and activities is the level of diversity. There are many people from all ethnic groups and walks of life at their meets, which occur weekly on Wednesdays.

One of the star players on the team is Lucas Aruda, a bright young sophomore who is already taking AP Calculus AB. Lucas is known for uniting the team, as well as earning them many points. With Lucas on the team, Hopkinton’s mathletes are on track to bring home a title for their advisor this year, Mr. Brizard.
