Students spread the wealth with tournament prize money

After winning a math contest in March, sixth-grader Taryn Quaytman felt a little guilty.

She had practiced and learned from her friend Casey Kolb while preparing for the big countywide “24 Challenge” ? a fast-paced tournament requiring players to mathematically manipulate numbers on a flash card to reach 24. Both students of Hereford Middle School, Taryn thought they had worked equally hard for the $1,000 savings bond prize.
