The team "out-computed" seven schools in the competition to take top honors.
Worthington received first place for the "Sprint" competition, where participants were tasked with answering 30 questions in 40 minutes. He also won first place in the Countdown Round, besting eight other students.
The team will move on to the next round of the Math Counts Competition in Wiesbaden next month.
