The Irish team has arrived home from the 59th International Mathematical Olympiad in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, where Lucas Bachmann won Ireland’s 10th-ever Bronze medal in the competition since Ireland’s first participation in 1988.
Lucas is a 5th year student at Glenstal Abbey School, Murroe, Co. Limerick. In addition, Anna Mustata, a Leaving Certificate student at Bishopstown Community School, Cork, received the distinction of ‘Honourable Mention’. Anna won Bronze for Ireland at last year’s Olympiad in Rio de Janeiro.
