Continuing a tradition of excellence spanning decades, and SIX-TIME defending champions of Aiken County, the AHS Academic Quizbowl Team always seeks to recruit talented new players!
Among numerous high tournament finishes for Aiken last year, standouts include championships at the Alpha Lambda Delta USC Challenge, the Aiken County District Championship, and the JV division at the Dorman Fall Tournament. Aiken also finished second at the Southside Holiday Invitational, the Clemson Tigertown Throwdown, and the Porter-Gaud Invitational. Aiken finished third in the state at the 2023 NAQT South Carolina State Championship held at USC-Columbia in April. In the midst of all that success, we also hosted our first statewide event in many years by resurrecting the Triple Crown Challenge. The team's active and productive season culminated in Atlanta at the 2023 NAQT High School National Championship Tournament, where Aiken finished in 163rd place in the nation.
This year, Aiken has placed third in the Battle for the Beach in Neptune Beach, FL, second in the Alpha Lambda Delta USC Challenge, and won the varsity championship at the Southside Tiger Invitational. Our tournament hosting has expanded to three events: the Fall Steeplechase in November, the Triple Crown Challenge in March, and the Aiken County District Championship in April. We look forward to making another strong run at the State Championship in April and returning to Atlanta for the 2024 NAQT High School National Championship Tournament.
If you enjoy and have a knack for "Jeopardy!" and other trivia games, you're insatiably curious about the world, you get a thrill out of team competition, and you like to have FUN, quizbowl might be your thing!
We practice after school from 3:45-5:30 PM on Mondays and Fridays in C212. Have questions? Visit or email Mr. Densmore at ddensmore@acpsd.net.
