The WACO High School Quiz Bowl team recently won first place in the SEISC Quiz Bowl. The WACO team was behind by 25 points in the semi-final rounds but the Warriors answered the final question of the meet to claim first place.

The final question for 10 points was, “Bob needs to find the mean of a finite arithmetic sequence with range 30 and largest term 24. The range is the difference between the largest term and smallest term, and the mean is halfway between those values. Find the mean of the sequence.” The answer was nine.

The team is coached by Bert Miller. The meet was held at WACO High School.
