Diller-Odell Competes at ESU5 Elementary Quiz Bowl
On Monday, February 20th ten 5th and 6th graders participated in the ESU 5 Elementary Quiz Bowl. It was hosted by Thayer Central, and the participating schools were Bruning Davenport, Diller-Odell, Fairbury, Freeman, Meridian, and Thayer Central. Each team was comprised of both 5th and 6th graders. The day started out in a Round Robin and then based off your record you were seeding in the single elimination tournament. It just so happened that Diller-Odell got the 8th and 9th seeds, so we had to play each other first round. Team B just edged out Team A, so that meant that Team B would take on the number one seeded team from Freeman. Team B beat them and moved on to play a Thayer Central team. It was a close match but the Griffins fell, so they were able to play for 3rd place. It came down to the last question to tie up the match, but it wasn't meant to be. Diller-Odell B placed 4th while Diller-Odell A placed 9th. It was a good day for each team. The team was made up of Zachary Warren, Lilly Swanson, Sidney Gegg, Tatum Schroeder, Kate Kostal, Abby Vader, Jason Arnold, Ellie Weers, Emma Rupprecht, and Callan McKinney.
The Mr. Larsen and the Quiz Bowl team would like to thank all the parents and family members that came over to help support them.
