The results are in and four young men stood out among the scores of Douglas High School students who took the American Mathematics Contest in February and the Nevada State Prize Examination in Mathematics in March.
The winner of the American Mathematics 10th-grade contest was Justin Freeman.
Top score for the 11th-12th-grade math contest was made by junior Marshall Tuinier. Tuinier, sophomore Bradley Neddenriep and senior Ben Johnson were the top three scorers.
Tuinier submitted the best Nevada State Prize math examination from Douglas and received a certificate of merit for scoring in the top 10 percent in Nevada.
This was the first time the same student won both the 11th-12th-grade American Mathematics Exam and the Nevada State Prize in the same year, teacher Debbie Barnes said.
Johnson is a repeat winner - he was the winner of the AMC in 2005 and received the certificate of merit in the Nevada State Prize in 2006.
