The Conway Junior High School Quiz Bowl Team recently won the 2013 National Academic Championship.

Members of the team include Tim Ablondi, Alex Brewington, Joe Coker, Ben Coney, Zelda Engeler-Young, Megan Haase, Kate Lange, Connor Lichtenwalter, Kennedy Reynolds, Trey Smith and Matthew Sweere.
“This is the most talented group of students I believe we’ve ever had,” said Paula McKee, coach for the team. “The Hazen group we defeated in the finals was a one-man team, basically, because he scored all of their points except for 10 of them.
“My group is so well-rounded. Each of them is very talented.”
