The results of the 4th annual Maui Math Challenge, hosted by Seabury Hall were released today. The event was held over the weekend on Saturday, Jan. 30, 2016, and featured more than 100 students in 3rd, 4th and 5th grades at 10 schools across Maui.

The competition was created by Jesse Doan, a junior attending Seabury Hall.
