Congratulations and Good Luck to the High School Quiz Bowl Club!

Congratulations and good luck to Hopkins Quiz Bowlers at the Northeast Regional Championship this weekend and Nationals in Atlanta during the Memorial Day weekend.

The Quiz Bowl club will be competing in two tournaments around the nation over the next few weeks. On Saturday, May 13, the team will travel to Long Island to participate in the inaugural Northeast Regional Championship, and over Memorial Day weekend, the team will travel to Atlanta, GA to compete in the 2023 High School National Championship. 

The team qualified for these tournaments based on several competitions from the fall and winter. On Saturday, October 8, a team competed at the Island Cup in Kings Park, NY, and on Saturday, November 19, two teams of Hopkins high schoolers from the Quiz Bowl Club competed in the Ithaca Fall Tournament. 

At the Island Cup, the team finished 8th overall in a field of 36 teams, with an 7-4 record, and Arin Bhandari finished 3rd overall individually. With this placement, Hopkins qualified for the 2022 Northeast Regional Championship sponsored by the Long Island Quiz Bowl Alliance. 

At the Ithaca Fall tournament, both teams played very well, with the B team finishing 3-3 in prelims and the A team finishing with a perfect 6-0. In addition, Hopkins placed 5 scorers in the top 20, with Arin Bhandari (2nd), Claire Billings (4th), and Riley Foushee (6th), receiving awards for placing in the top 10. The B team ultimately finished 10th overall, with a 4-4 record, and the A team finished 2nd with a 9-1 record. 

Good luck to the team on their endeavors!
