A team from Texas A&M's computer science department placed third overall in the South Central USA region of the 33rd ACM International Collegiate Programming Competition sponsored by IBM.
Competing in the south regional were 68 teams, including three from A&M. Teams of students wrote computer programs to solve various problems.
Texas A&M's Maroon Team -- Stefan Mai, Matt Moss and Kyle Willmon -- completed four of the problems, placing third behind teams from Texas and Tulsa universities.
If the Aggies are declared semifinalists, they will compete again to determine who will advance to the world finals.
Also competing from A&M were Drew Fisher, Jonathan Leake, Bill Hamilton, Jack Booth, Alex Barnes and Gabriel Copley.
