NORTH BEND — Two North Bend students showed off their math skills in a state competition last weekend.

James Farlow, a North Bend eighth-grader, placed first in geometry at the 34th annual Oregon Invitational Math Tournament at Oregon State University on Saturday.

Freshman Hannah Shupe placed in the Top 10 in the same category.

“I’ve taken students for 20-some years to the SWOCC math competition and they’ve always done really well, but I do not remember anyone coming home from the state test that placed,” said North Bend High geometry teacher John Olson.

The state competition tests students in Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus and Calculus.

At SWOCC’s Math & Skills Day this spring, Shupe got a perfect score in geometry — an amazing feat, Olson said.
