North Carolina MathCounts

North Carolina often fields a top 10 team at national MathCounts competitions. In recent years, the coach of the winning school team and the Deng family (including Calvin and Angela Deng) host practices for the NC team going to Nationals.

The top four students from the written round at the state competition are selected for the national team. The coach of the winning school team is offered the opportunity to coach the state team at the national competition.
