Congratulations to the Rockhurst Academic Worldquest team, consisting of Seniors Charlie Burgess and Austin Meyer, Junior Kenneth Berglund, and Sophomore Blaise Rebman, for winning the Academic Worldquest competition on Saturday! They defeated over 20 other area schools, producing the 2nd win for Rockhurst in the 9 years of the competition. Rockhurst has finished in the top five all 9 years. The team answered 82 out of 100 questions correctly in the first ten rounds, and then correctly answered all 10 questions in the tie-breaking rounds to pull out the victory. The questions are based on knowledge of specific assigned topics and general knowledge of world geography, current events and global issues. The team won a trip to Washington DC in April to compete against over 50 other teams in the National Academic Worldquest competition! AMDG
