Feb. 5: NAQT Mid-Atlantic Sectionals, held...there.
Our Div I team (Steve Ya., Steve Yo., Morgan, Sidarth) finished with a record of 10-6, 3rd behind VCU and Princeton, but apparently not good enough to receive an ICT bid (despite 4th and 5th receiving bids). Our two-man Div II team (Mike W., Mike S.) tied for 2nd place with a record of 9-5, only behind an undefeated Swarthmore team, also somehow not good enough for an ICT bid. Results can be found here.
