Jurgen Xhafaj Wins Mathematics Competition

2017 Mar 22

Newberry College students Jurgen Xhafaj of Vlore, Albania, and David Schroer of Newberry, tied for first place in the 13th annual Michael W. Terrana Competitive Logic and Mathematics Exam. It is first time a tie has occurred since the inception of the contest.

Xhafaj and Schroer each netted a $100 cash prize for their stellar performance during the March 2 competition. The contest is named after the late father of former Newberry math professor Dr. Victor Terrana, who encouraged competition among the five family members with tournaments, games and puzzles. The endowment-funded competition is open to all Newberry students.
