Two teams of UW undergraduates were declared Outstanding Winners in this year's Mathematical Contest in Modeling. The team of Sam Burden, Aaron Dilley, and Lukas Svec were Outstanding Winners, and also won the MAA Award. The team of Nate Bottman, Wes Essig, and Sam Whittle were Outstanding Winners. Of the 949 teams that participated in the MCM this year, 14 were designated Outstanding Winners. We have had seven Outstanding Winners in the last six years. Having been inspired by the standard set by Lance Armstrong in the Tour de France, do we now dare to turn to John Wooden's record?
