The Jeopardy college championships concluded on Friday with a win for Washington University in St. Louis. Nick Yozamp, a bio major, won $100K for himself and eternal glory for his school.
The runners-up were Ryan Stoffers of UCLA and Surya Sabhapathy of the University of Michigan.
According to IvyGate, Ivy competitors included representatives from Dartmouth, Yale, Columbia, Penn, and our very own Brown. Rebecca Maxfield appeared on the show on February 2nd. She won $11,974, but said the rules say she can only get a check for $5,000.
No Ivy Leaguer has won the competition since it began in 1989. More students with the surname “Brown” or “Browning” (4) have participated than Brown students (3).
