Earlier this month, the Locust Valley High School History Club qualified for the National History Bowl Tournament after winning the Long Island History Bowl Tournament at Half Hollow Hills High School West.
The team, made up of John Hartnett, Sophia Del Giudice, Clare Simon and Abigail Vuong, were quick to the buzzer and called out answers to difficult history questions on their way to six consecutive head-to-head quiz matchup wins and a first-place finish in the four-team round robin. Questions ranged in topics from history of arts, sciences, religion, philosophy, language, geography, sports and entertainment.
The team will look to repeat its impressive performance at the national quiz tournament in Washington, D.C. on April 27 and 28.
