In the regular calculus level, Gulf's calculus team of three students finished second out of the nine high schools in Pasco county. The team consisted of Megan Rashid, Kevin Seeber, and Sal Torre.

Sal Torre took second place individual in the regular calculus level.

Gulf's precalculus team of three students took third place out of the nine high schools. The Precalculus team consisted of Kevin Lindenmayer, John Heppner, and Igor Geyvandov.
