Edmond Juniors Take Top Honors at OSSM’s 2025 Integration Bee 

Two OSSM students from Edmond earned top honors at the annual Integration Bee, held Wednesday, April 30, on the OSSM campus. Junior Pranav Domakonda claimed the title of 2025 OSSM Grand Integrator, while fellow junior Aarush Abrol took runner-up, marking a standout performance by the Edmond math duo. 

The event brought together 44 high-achieving math students for an evening of challenging integrals, fast-paced buzzer rounds, and deep mathematical reasoning. Now in its third year, the Integration Bee continues to grow in both size and reputation under the direction of OSSM Mathematics faculty member Clint Givens, Ph.D. 

“The impressive finish by Pranav Domakonda and Aarush Abrol reflects not only their individual talent but also the strength of mathematical achievement in the Edmond community,” said Tony Cornforth, President of OSSM. “As the Integration Bee continues to grow and welcome students from across the state, OSSM remains a hub for high-level academic competition and excellence.” 

This year also marked the first time students from beyond OSSM’s main campus joined the competition. A virtual student from Muldrow and three students from the OSSM Tahlequah Regional Center, accompanied by their instructor Gil Brown, stepped up to the challenge. 

Participants began the evening in collaborative teams before advancing to individual rounds and one-on-one matchups. Over 2.5 hours of competition, students solved dozens of integrals using techniques such as u-substitution, integration by parts, and partial fractions.
