This was the team’s largest tournament to date, with a field consisting of 32 teams from Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York. The contestants competed head-to-head to answer questions on subjects such as history, literature, science, fine arts, current events, sports and popular culture.
"We are so proud of our students, who spent countless hours after school each week practicing questions in preparation for the tournament. It is so rewarding for them to see that all that hard work resulted in such success,” said faculty adviser Barbara Ivey.
