EAST LANSING, Mich.- More than 700 high school students from across Michigan will gather at Michigan State University April 15-16 for the 24th annual Michigan High School Quiz Bowl State Championship.
In order to compete at the Quiz Bowl State Championship, teams must have won either a league championship or tournament. Winners will receive trophies, medals and the opportunity to compete at the national level.
This year’s event is sponsored by MSU’s Honors College and Meijer. Former Michigan Senator Dan DeGrow started the statewide competition 24 years ago as a way to highlight the talents of the state’s academic achievers. The MSU Honors College has run the tournament for 12 years.
On April 15, the first day of the Quiz Bowl State Championship, competition runs from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the MSU Student Union. On April 16, matches begin at 9 a.m. and the finals will be held at 5:15 p.m. and (if needed) 6 p.m. Admission is free and spectators are encouraged to attend and support their favorite team.
