Snead State Community College’s newly formed Math Team made an impressive debut at the AlaMATYC (Alabama Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges) Math Team Tournament held Friday, April 11, at Shelton State Community College.

Representing Snead State in its first-ever showing were students Alex Watts of Boaz and Jaxon Dendy of Albertville. Both students competed in the Calculus Division — a step above the typical Pre-Calculus competition level.

Dendy earned fourth place in the individual calculus category, while the duo secured third place in the team competition for the Calculus Division.

“We’re incredibly proud of Alex and Jaxon for their strong performance in their first tournament,” said Celeste Hallenbeck, Math Team sponsor and mathematics instructor. “They set a solid foundation for the future of the Math Team at Snead State.”
