The Quiz Bowl Team has done a fantastic job this year! On April 30th, they earned 4th place at the State competition in Hastings. The previous week, they traveled to Chicago for the National Tournament. This team has been working hard this year, led by sponsor, Courtney Polak. They have really improved and are looking forward to continuing that progress! Keep up the great work, Quiz Bowl!
