In 1993 Davis started the Lehigh Valley Math Team. In 2005, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2024, they were national champions in the American Regions Math League (ARML). They have finished second or third in ARML seven other times.[8] They won the Harvard/MIT Math Tournament (HMMT) in 2023 and 2024, and the Princeton University Math Competition (PUMaC) in 2009, 2010, 2012, and 2023.[9]
Running
From 1977 through 2009, Davis competed in marathon and ultramarathon races. He was the overall winner of ultramarathon races of 31 to 78 miles in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s.[10]
