In addition to their regional matches, the Quiz Bowl teams have also triumphed in
Quiz Bowl tournaments, competing against high school teams from throughout New York,
Connecticut and New Jersey. They’ve contested in matches that took place at Smithtown
High School, Kellenberg Memorial High School and Choate Academy in Connecticut. They
finished with a 6-4 overall winning record in all three tournaments. In addition, junior

The District is proud of the teams’ success this year and wishes them best of luck in
future matches.
