Dragon Quiz Bowl team to compete at HSNCT National Championship over Memorial weekend

Quiz Bowl Students

The Maggie Walker Quiz Bowl Team is preparing to compete in the High School National Championship Tournament (HSNCT) in Atlanta this weekend! We wish good luck to our team members: Tayyib Ali (’27-Chesterfield), Bridget Finley (’27-Henrico), Jaanvi Kanda (’28-Henrico), Bladen Kidd (’27-Richmond), David Lins (’26-Chesterfield), Shravan Madurantakam (’27-Henrico), Rohan Neelakantan (’27-Henrico), and Serine Oh (’28-Henrico).

The HSNCT is NAQT’s premier high school event. The tournament is held at the end of each school year and features the top quiz bowl teams from across the United States and, increasingly, the world. Teams qualify for the HSNCT by their performance at regular-season tournaments using questions supplied by NAQT.

The MLWGS team will flex their brains for the whole weekend, facing off with top high school teams from around the country. Go Dragons!

Quiz Bowl is sponsored by Mr. Adam Rotche and Ms. Kimberly Forquer, who are traveling to Nationals with their team.
