On Saturday, December 7, the Quiz Bowl teams spent a grueling day competing at the Cookeville Tournament. The A team consisting of Emily Wykoff '21, Daniel Borza '21, Adeolu Ajayi '22, Ethan Li '21, and Ben Gregg '21 brought home the fourth place trophy. The B team, composed of all freshman, Maya Giles, Iris Li, Riya Narayan, Leala Nakagawa, and Frederick Rudolph ended the day in the final bracket with a 2-1 score. Frederick and Ethan had individual honors in the top 10 of individual high scorers. We had a very, very long but successful day.
University of Virginia selected Margot Ross '24 to be a Jefferson Scholar.
