Our Female Athlete of the Week is Josephine Sundquist! Coach says "Josie is one of our more experienced quiz bowl teammates and is one of our most improved this season. She has gotten more aggressive on the buzzer and has gained confidence in herself, all while bringing positive vibes to our practices. I know she will be a force in our first competition next week. Josie also volunteered to help with the 6th Grade Taste of Quiz Bowl last year and came every day. She bonded with our younger teammates and has become a friend and mentor to them. I'm so proud of Josie and can't wait to see what she accomplishes this season with our team!"
Josie, you represent #TheBulldogWay and we are so proud of you. Keep it up!
