The Quiz Bowl team has had a number of successes over the 2020-2021 virtual Quiz Bowl season! Our A team, (pictured above) with captain Angela Chen ‘21, Grace Sanborn ‘21, Eric Jackson ‘22, Samit Mohapatra ‘22, and Divik Verma ‘22, has competed at four virtual tournaments thus far: the Ithaca Fall Tournament last November; the Greater Pennsylvania Quiz Bowl December Invitational, placing 5th in the varsity bracket; the GPQB February Invitational, placing 2nd in varsity; and the GPQB March Invitational, placing 5th in varsity. At the March Invitational, Divik Verma ‘22 was also the #8 overall individual scorer in the varsity bracket. 

Our B (pictured below) team, with captain DeDee Hoffman ‘21, has competed at all of the same tournaments as the A team, placing 2nd in the JV bracket at the December Invitational; 9th in JV at the February Invitational; and 3rd in JV at the March Invitational. Yiyi Chen ‘22 was also the top individual scorer in the JV bracket during the March Invitational. 

Looking ahead towards the end of the year, both the A and B teams will compete on April 10th at the monthly GPQB Invitational. In addition, the A team has earned a spot at Small School Nationals, on April 24th-25th, and at High School Nationals, on May 29th-30th, both hosted by NAQT. The B team will also be sending DeDee Hoffman ‘21, Maclaine Oskin ‘21, Yiyi Chen ‘22, Lily Eyvazzadeh ‘22, Sebastian Holbrook ‘22, and Theo Urban ‘22 to compete at Small School Nationals. Congratulations to everyone on their team and individual accomplishments as we prepare for the national championship tournaments!
