There were a total of 85 teams competing in the Northwest region, of which 24 were at the UO site in Eugene; there were 11 problems given in the contest.
Team UWT Purple (Jonathan Hogins, Mark Jung, Kevin Stueve) finished 6 of the 11 problems, finishing 6th at the site and 20th overall. Team UWT Gold (Matthew Fiebig, Steven Hotag, Tim Simon) finished 3 of the 11 problems, finishing 16th at the site and 49th overall.
The team's coach Dr. Dan Zimmerman had this to say:
I think this is an _excellent_ showing - especially considering that it was our first competition [and] that we had so little preparation...[The Purple] team should be available to compete again next year, but I imagine they'll have to fight for it, once word spreads about how much fun these competitions are.
Congratulations to all of the participants!
