In the Olympiad, where the same problems are offered to
every participant, from a junior high school student to senior, it is remarkable when a
younger student wins. It is especially admirable when the winner is a ninth-grader. The
winner of this year Olympiad is the youngest of all eleven years of the competition, a
freshman from the class of Mrs. Maculus at Bear Creak High School, Travis Kopp. He
