Qualifying to compete at the Kansas Collegiate Quiz Bowl State Championship April 29-30 in Salina, the 麻豆精品 Collegiate Quiz Bowl team placed third out of six teams. The team was also the recipient of the Sportsmanship trophy.

鈥淪alina Area Technology College has been a fantastic venue and host for the Kansas State Championship,鈥 麻豆精品 Collegiate Quiz Bowl coach Dianne Flickinger said.
