Weber Middle School placed first in the fifth annual 7th and 8th Grade Math Olympiad Tournament, sponsored by the St. Martin de Porres Marianist School and hosted by Kellenberg Memorial High School, on March 10. 

The five-member team took top honors after competing against approximately 40 teams. Participants included seventh-grader Joseph Melkonian and eighth-graders Anna Finkelstein, Sarah Finkelstein, Julia Ruskin and Sherry Shi.
