2008 —This year we’re going to the top!

We are the Trivia Team of Lisgar Collegiate Institute, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Up until our 2005-2006 season, we were known simply as the Reach for the Top team. After a long absence from the Canadian trivia game Reach for the Top, our school team was reborn in 1999, and has been going strong ever since. We have made it into the top ten in the province every year since 2001; you may have seen us on TVOntario's broadcasts of the Ontario provincial finals. We hope to make it there again this year.

Two years ago, however, we decided to expand our repertoire, just as the US-based National Academic Quiz Tournaments (NAQT) started expanding their range. For the first time, a NAQT high-school-level tournament was held in Canada. It was hosted by the University of Ottawa, where our coach Tamara Vardomskaya plays in NAQT tournaments at the university level. After a bit of coaching, we sent two teams to the tournament to try our skills against other Eastern Ontario high schools in this new game. Our “Lisgar B” team swept the field, winning with a 10-0 record and taking the top individual junior and senior titles, won by James Cooper and Nevin Hotson. This achievement made us the first Canadian team to ever be invited to the High School National Championship Tournament.

Without our generous sponsors and support staff, we would not be around. Please visit the Sponsors page, and check them out!
