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. TJ’s...

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...

Re: DC Metro Area Discussion - 2019-2020
Matt’s commentary of the teams for next year was spot-on!

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