2024-2025 Math Competitions Results

The competition season began in November 2024 with MMATHS 2024, a team-based math competition for high school students. Two RSM teams participated in this competition at Yale University and RSM Team 1 won first place in the Team Round! Additionally, RSM students Luca Pieleanu and Soham Samanta placed second and fifth respectively in the Individual Round of the competition. 

RSM Team 1 was helmed by Alexander Amrhein, Jefferson Ji, Alice Kim, Luca Pieleanu, Soham Samanta, and Anand Swaroop. RSM Team 2 was led by Ilya Baturin, Emmett Chen, Andrew Kalashnikov, Kristiyan Kurtev, Alexander Mitev, and April Sun.

Later in the fall, nearly 11,000 RSM students took the AMC 8 and the AMC 10/12. The AMC 10/12 are challenging competitions that are the gateway to further opportunities, including the AIME and USAMO. Among the 186 students in our elite NMCP program (grades 8-11), an incredible 58 students earned invitations to take the AIME, representing an outstanding 31% of participants! 

Students who achieve exceptional scores on the AMC 10/12 and the AIME are invited to compete in the USA(J)MO. This year, 4th grader Douglas Zhang was RSM’s youngest USAJMO qualifier.

On the USAJMO, seven RSM students earned honors, including, David Fox, Selena Ge, Adam Ge, Timur Kilybaev, Brandon Ni, Luca Pieleanu, and Jayden Zheng. On the USAMO, four students were awarded honors, including Raj Aryan, Samarth Das, Hansen Shien, and Vikram Sarkar.

At the start of the new year, 25,000 students registered for the 2025 International Math Contest (IMC). The IMC is an online challenge based on leading math curricula from around the world and is designed to give parents insight into how their children's math knowledge compares to that of their international peers. The Online Challenge also serves as a qualifier for the International Math Contest Round 2: a challenging Olympiad in the tradition of European Mathematical Olympiads with complex problems that promote a deeper level of thinking for even the most advanced students.

Math competitions were in full swing in the spring of 2025. At the Johns Hopkins Math Tournament (JHMT), RSM student Anay Sahu placed 1st in the Middle School Division, winning both the Individual and Relay rounds. Additionally, Team RSM Bay Area’s Middle School team placed 2nd and the High School team placed 3rd in the Proof round.The JHMT is an annual, student-run math competition designed for middle and high school students globally.

RSM students performed well at MOEMS, Mathematical Olympiads for Elementary and Middle Schools. This year, three RSM students received a perfect score on the competition, 16 students scored in the top 2%, 63 students scored in the top 10%, and 69 students scored in the top 50%. MOEMS is one of the most influential and fun-filled math competition programs in the United States and throughout the world. More than 120,000 students from every state and 39 countries take part each year. 

RSM also participated in the 2025 Girls in Math at Yale Competition, a math competition with individual and team rounds for over 150 U.S. students held at Yale University. Team RSM placed 4th overall, and was led by: Alexandra Baskakova, Erica Hou, Jenny Huang, April Sun, Anna Tang, and Ria Varthank. This competition aims to cultivate a love for math in young women and empower them to pursue careers in STEM.

RSM students took part in the inaugural Brown University Math Olympiad (BrUMO). This competition gathered 240 participants in 45 teams. Team RSM ranked 3rd in the Guts Round and was 4th overall. Team RSM comprised Alexander Amrhein, Emmett Chen, Andrew Kalashnikov, Kristiyan Kurtev, Luca Pieleanu, and Anand Swaroop.

At the 2025 Berkeley mini Math Tournament, Team RSM placed 5th in the Individual Round. Founded at the University of California, Berkeley in the early 2010s, the Berkeley mini Math Tournament gathers middle school students in grades 8 and below to celebrate mathematics and the spirit of mathematical competition.

At the Noetic Learning Math Contest (NLMC), 445 RSM students earned the National Honor Roll Medal and 274 RSM students earned the Honorable Mention Ribbon. NLMC is a semiannual problem-solving contest for elementary and middle school students.

Finally, at Purple Comet! 2025, Team RSM ranked 4th in the United States out of 168 Mixed Middle School Teams and 3rd place out of United States High School Teams. RSM tied for 1st place in California and Washington in the Middle School Mixed Teams. RSM placed 1st in the High School Teams in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Virgina. The Purple Comet! Math Meet is a team mathematics competition designed for middle and high school students conducted annually since 2003.

Congratulations to all of our hard-working and accomplished students who participated in math competitions throughout the 2024-2025 school year!
