With its strong finish at the University of Kentucky Fall Tournament, Glasgow High School’s Quick Recall team proved themselves worthy to play on a national stage.
The team now travels seven hours to Rosemont, Illinois, to compete in the 148-team national competition: National Academic Quiz Tournaments’ Small School National Championship Tournament.
Quiz bowl is a competitive, academic, interscholastic activity for teams of four students. It is the national version of the game that is often locally called Quick Recall.
Quiz bowl teams use buzzers to answer questions about science, math, history, literature, mythology, geography, social science, current events, sports, and popular culture. The matches feature a blend of individual competition and team collaboration, since no individual player is likely to be an expert in all subject areas.
Participation in quiz bowl both reinforces lessons from the classroom and encourages players to develop new intellectual interests.
Glasgow won the Small School National Championship Tournament in 2022, 2019, 2018, and 2017, and also attended in 2024, 2023, 2021, 2016, 2015, and 2014.
The Small School National Championship Tournament is the only quiz bowl national championship pitting small schools against each other. It has one division containing non-selective public schools with 500 or fewer students in their top three grades, and another division for other schools with 350 or fewer students in their top three grades.
The team will be coached by Todd Garrison, who will be assisted by Jefferson Dickinson and Rachel Rodriguez.
The student’s competing in the tournament are:
A-Team
- Mary Kate Vance
- Rudra Chaudhary
- William Vargas
- Kasan Peters
B-Team
- Danica Ingram
- Emma Jessee
- Diya Nair
