Duke University is a private university located in Durham, North Carolina.
History
Duke's quizbowl team was active in the late 1990s, primarily attending NAQT tournaments and ACC Conference tournaments. Duke's team attended ICT in 1997, 1999, and 2001, and their best finish was 16th at the 1997 ICT.
After the 2001 ICT, Duke went relatively inactive until 2007, when the team once again began attending Mid-Atlantic tournaments semi-regularly, primarily at regular difficulty and below. This iteration of Duke's team never attended nationals but did attend NAQT Division II SCT in 2011.
Duke's quizbowl team was revived again in the 2014-2015 academic year under the leadership of John Stathis and Ryan Humphrey, as well as Gabriel Guedes. Between 2014 and 2019, Duke's team was regularly a top 25 team in polls, and they attended both national championships in the 2016, 2017, and 2018 seasons. Duke also fielded a DII team at the 2015 ICT and qualified a DII team for 2015 ACF Nationals, but elected not to attend. Currently, Duke's top finishes at nationals in recent history have been a 21st place finish at the 2016 ICT, and a 16th place (3rd place undergraduate) finish at 2017 ACF Nationals.
Recent History
After Duke hosted 2019 ACF Regionals, Duke's team nearly collapsed once Gabe Guedes stepped down to focus on grad school applications. However, thanks to the leadership of Annabelle Yang and a club-record-breaking 13 freshmen having joined for the 2019-2020 season, the club became very active once again.
