Excerpt From IXL 2024 contestant Sowmya Ramkumar's blog "My journey in IXL 2024"

"Though I had done decently well, I was pleasantly surprised by the results of the tenth round. Securing the second spot in the leader board, I placed between #1 Erik Agard, who had been placing at #1 in 7 out of 10 rounds during the IXL in 2024 and #3 Ramki Krishnan who is the undisputed IXL Champ with the maximum IXL trophies over the years. I also ended up at the overall 9th spot in the cumulative leaderboard. Although I have finished in the Top 10 every year that I have participated, this one feels even more special due to the intense competition especially from many new and better players, as well as international competitors, while the senior players have also admirably retained their places."
