'''Edmond Memorial''' is a public high school in Edmond, Oklahoma whose quizbowl program was started in 1988 by former coach Tina Page. Over the course of its more than thirty-year history, Edmond Memorial has been one of the most successful quizbowl teams in Oklahoma, claiming several titles in both the [[OSSAA state|OSSAA]] and [[NAQT Oklahoma State Championship|NAQT]] state championships. In its earlier years, Memorial also claimed national championships at the [[1995 TOC|1995]] and [[1996 TOC|1996]] ASCN [[Tournament of Champions]].
  
==2000-2001 season==
+
==State Championships==
The 2001 Edmond Memorial High School team began the year with a first place finish at the Rose State Social Studies Bowl in Oklahoma City. Two days later, the team's captain [[Scott Smith]] suffered a ruptured appendix and missed half of the remaining year due to complications. The loss of their captain did not stop the team from winning first place at the Vanderbilt Academic Bowl Competition. The team was again at full strength for NAQT Nationals at which it placed 9th and ASCN Nationals at which it place 10th.
+
Edmond Memorial claimed their first state championship title by winning the 5A Division of the 1993 [[OSSAA state|OSSAA State Championship]]; they would go on to win again in 1995 and 1996, before again claiming the title in 2002. That same year, they won their first [[NAQT Oklahoma State Championship]] by defeating [[Booker T. Washington]], becoming the only Oklahoma team to date to win both championships in the same year. They repeated their NAQT title the following year, and have since won the tournament another two times (in 2009 and 2018), and placed second a further five.
  
==2011-2012 season==
+
==Nationals Performances==
The team had a successful 2011-2012 season.  The freshmen won OJABA state and the varsity were one question from repeating as OK Science Bowl repeat champions.
+
Edmond Memorial were the winners of the now-defunct [[Tournament of Champions]] in 1995 and 1996, and attended the event regularly until 2003. They have also attended the [[NAQT]] [[HSNCT]] fifteen times, achieving a best finish of 4th out of 26 in [[1999 HSNCT|1999]].
