3. Winners

The list of award winners is shown here:

4. Team composition

So far, we have funding to send one team to the ILO in
St. Petersburg. The team composition is as follows:

1. Rachel Zax, Ithaca, NY
2. Ryan Musa, Ithaca, NY
3. Adam Hesterberg, Seattle, WA
4. Jeffrey Lim, Arlington, MA

Alternates:
5. (tie) Rebecca Jacobs, North Hollywood, CA
5. (tie) Michael Gottlieb, Tarrytown, NY

In case of cancellations, we may go further down the list of winners
for additional alternates. We will be contacting the top ranked
students separately about this matter.

We are still trying to get funding for a second team. As things stand
now, we need to give the list of team members to the organizers by the
end of May and they all need to get passports and visas for Russia. If
we cannot secure funding by the end of May, we will only send one
team.
