Five RE students finished in the top 15 of the 36th Annual David Essner Competition at the University of Miami. John Mistele '17 claimed first for the third straight year; Joon Kim '17 got fifth; Eric Cai '17, sixth; Guillermo Wenrich '17, 10th; and Thor Andreassen '18, 12th.
The David Essner Mathematics Competition was established as a memorial to David Essner and is sponsored by the Essner Family and the University of Miami Department of Mathematics. Since 1981-82, it has been an annual competition that seeks to recognize outstanding mathematical talent among the secondary school students of Miami-Dade County.

Participants take a three-hour exam consisting of a handful of problems whose solutions require creative mathematical thought. Ransom Everglades sent nine students to the event under club director Karen Key.
