| The two 2007 Euro Challenge winning teams visited the European Commission's Washington Delegation on May 22, 2007. The first-place team, Montclair High School, and the second-place team, Bronx School of Science, prevailed at an early-March match at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Ninth- and tenth-grade students (aged fourteen to sixteen) on twenty-three teams from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut competed this year. Pictured along with the victorious teams are their faculty advisors; European Commission Washington Delegation Economic & Financial Section Head Nigel Nagarajan; European Commission Washington Delegation Senior Economist Amy Medearis; Moody's Foundation Program Director Daisy Auger-Dominguez; Working in Support of Education's Kristy Nguyen; Embassy of Spain Financial Counselor Ubaldo Gonzalez; German Marshall Fund's Richard Salt; European Commission official at the World Bank Pilar Garcia-Martinez. The trip to Washington, DC--where team members also visited the Federal Reserve Board and the International Monetary Fund--was generously funded for the winners by the Moody's Foundation.
