After being crowned the Long Island Regional Quiz Bowl Champions for the second consecutive year, Wheatley’s JV Brainstormers team qualified for participation in the 37th annual National Academic Championship in Chicago, Ill.
On June 8, an immensely talented JV team consisting of Karen Li, Victor Li and Frederick Lin arrived in the windy city and proceeded to blow away the competition. After finishing with a 5-1 record in the preliminary rounds, the Wheatley Brainstormers decisively won the 2019 National Academic Championship with a final score of 365-180.
Congratulations to Karen, Victor and Frederick for this remarkable accomplishment. Many thanks to team advisor, John Beleckas, who coached the students and accompanied them to the competition.
