CERTAMEN UPDATE
ANONYMOUS
With now only two weeks to go until Nationals, players vying for spots on all 3 teams are furiously at work.
Both Shir Bloch and Chloe Wong have attended the majority of practices and are showing promise. They are
expected to make an excellent Nationals debut. Joe Mann, another upstart, is expected to as well. Vying for
the Intermediate team, Vibhu Kolli has shown great growth in the past month, especially in the categories of
Mythology and History while her friend Victoria Toledo has shown an impressive knack for grammar questions. Finally, in the advanced division, 5 players have attended almost every practice. Margot Armbruster is
proving to be exceptional in the grammar category, Adam Abuhajir might just be the next Michael Kearney in
the Mythology category, Teddy Stavropoulos has impressed in the History category, Ram Gollapudy seems
to know an unhealthy amount about the Literature category, and Michael Kearney, in typical Michael Kearney
fashion, is studying all categories with great success, with a heavy emphasis on Mythology. The WJCL teams
are looking strong and are eager to show the might of Wisconsin!
