Memorable Academic Team Experiences:

The time my junior year when I was in the zone- got Chaminade, Battle of Britain, and some Spanish question in rapid-fire succession which is even more amazing since I never took Spanish. I made all-tournament that year. On the down side, there was that stupid Paul Revere question my senior year, but you don't want to get me started on that one.

More recently and more importantly, the most memorable academic team experience i've ever had was that being associated with the Columbia Central Academic Team afforded me the opportunity to meet the coach of Morristown-East who is the most beautiful woman in the world and who on July 28th, 2001, will make me the happiest man in the world when she becomes my wife.  I love you, Teressa!
