How Did Aayana And Rosalynn React To Winning?

In statements to KCEN, Aayana and Rosalynn both expressed happiness at the recognition. Aayana looked at the award as a chance to further her dream of being in the medical field:

“Being strong in math will help me calculate the right medicine or prepare for an operation."

As for Rosalynn, the award showed why she loves the subject:

What I enjoy most about math are the challenges...I love solving the hard stuff so I can get better. I also like failing because it teaches us new things.”
