Re: Where are you going to college next year? (2021)

I'll be attending Yale next fall!! Not sure how committed I will be to quizbowl, but I'll certainly try to make an effort to play at least the coming year. Super stoked though!

Re: DC Metro Area Discussion - 2020-2021

I’d like to give some of my thoughts about the DMV circuit next year: National Contenders TJ A I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that TJ will be the #1 team in the country (especially on mACF), given that they have an argument to having the best science and literature coverage in the country.

Re: DC Metro End-of-Season Individual Poll

Thank you Justin for doing this. First I'd like to shill a few people who deserve to be on the Top 10. Matt Siff, no doubt, 100% is the man at #1. Katherine Lei is not only arguably the best science player in the country, but she has evolved into some humanities areas such as lit and fine arts, wher...

GDS is going to be VERY, VERY good next season and I ...
