|  Samuel is one of six students who represented CEL in the regional 
			competition at Millikin University in February. He made the cut as 
			an individual competitor by having the highest score after the 
			winning team earned their berth at state. CEL teacher Jenelle 
			Scott, sponsor of the Mathcounts group, said she was very proud of 
			him for his achievement and of the whole group for their efforts at 
			Millikin. In addition, she said she wanted to send out a special thank-you 
			to Prairie Engineers of Illinois. Prairie Engineers paid the entry 
			fee for the kids and bought all of them Mathcounts team T-shirts to 
			wear during their competition.
