The 58th annual West River Math Contest was held on the School of Mines campus on Monday, May 12, 2008. Approximately 380 students participated, representing 20 different schools. The awards for Best Team Performance went to St. Thomas More in class B and Rapid City Stevens in class A, and the awards for Outstanding Team Performance went to Custer in class B and Chadron in Class A.
