OLYMPIA HIGH SCHOOL QUIZ BOWL CHAMPIONS!
For the first time EVER in school history, Olympia took home the 1st place trophy from the league playoffs Monday night. After our first-place bye (thanks to our league-best regular season record), we soundly defeated perennial powerhouse Trinity Prep in the semis, setting up an epic final against Winter Park.
It was a very close match that came down to the final question. I know it's hard to imagine Quiz Bowl as being exciting, but it was a nerve-wracking, heart-palpitating match. In a moment of personal gratification, Olympia ultimately won by getting this question right:
In "Macbeth," give the three titles with which the three witches greet Macbeth on their first meeting?
(Answer: Thane of Cawdor, Thane of Glamis, and King of Scotland)
This was a small but great team, and they should be recognized for their outstanding achievements this season.
