On yesterday's program I mentioned an update I received about last week's guest, Parkway School fifth-grader Brandon Yu of Greenwich.
According to Brandon's mother, Kathleen Yu, the Western Windcast Quiz Bowl team from Western Middle School performed well at the national tournament. The field was a very competitive one with over 850 participants.
The Greenwich team, of which Brandon was a member, topped teams from Florida, Tennessee and Alabama -not bad, considering that this was the Greenwich team's first trip to the nationals.
The best news? Brandon Yu was singled out as one of six "rising stars." The Rising Star Award goes to the top six highest earning students who were not in the 8th grade. Overall, Brandon was ranked 36th. Not bad at all!
Our congratulations goes to Brandon Yu, his team mates and family here in Greenwich. Way to go!
