USN hosts, wins state history bowl
Oliver Buntin '23, Rohan Ramachandran '25, Emily Wykoff '22, and Frederick Rudolph '23 continued the Tigers' win streak at the 2022 Tennessee History Bee & Bowl State Championships.

On Saturday, February 26, University School of Nashville welcomed teams and individuals from across Tennessee and beyond for the annual Tennessee History Bee & Bowl State Championships.
Players matched wits over American and World history, both ancient and modern. Teams competed in the four-part bowl, while top individuals also contested the round-robin history bee.
USN’s team consisted of Emily Wykoff '22, Frederick Rudolph '23, Oliver Buntin '23, and Rohan Ramachandran '25. The team opened with a narrow loss to White Station High School but rolled through the remaining preliminary rounds to finish 4-1 and claim the top playoff seed.
After dispatching a talented Franklin Road Academy squad in the semifinals, the Tigers avenged their earlier loss with a 260-190 win against White Station in the final to claim the bowl championship.
Additionally, Oliver took second in the varsity bee for upperclassmen, with Frederick placing third; Rohan was third in the junior varsity bee for underclassmen. The banner day replicated past successes — of the last 10 state history bowls contested — this was USN’s sixth championship.
The organization sincerely thanks all of the faculty and volunteers who made the event possible, especially Lorelei Jobe '23 and Jay Bivens '25.
