The dedicated Middle School Quiz Bowlers have practiced diligently since the summer. Read on for more on their competition.

The industrious and seemingly omniscient Middle School Quiz Bowlers competed in the USN MS Intramural Quiz Bowl Tournament over Fall Break, their first competition of the year. Given that they have been practicing all summer and twice a week now that school is back in session, it's not surprising that the Quiz Bowlers didn't take a vacation.
The team of Beckett Dahir '25, Alice Littlehale '26, and Rohan Ramachandran '25 won the inaugural tournament. They defeated the second place team of Jackson Green '26, Laney Drew Hirt '24, and Brendan West '25 in the finals by a score of 490 to 125. Collin Chan '25, Ophelia Cherry-Pulay '25, and Caroline Keiper '25 finished third, and Sarah Page-McCaw '24 and Ruchika Ramachandran '27 placed fourth.
The Middle School Quiz Bowl Team would like to thank previous team members Laney Drew Hirt '24 and Sarah Page-McCaw '24 for returning to fill out teams and to serve as good role models.
