2009-2010 Roster:
Seniors: Miranda Dehart
Juniors: Brandon Williams, Michael Czupryn, Dan Welch, Emily Bingham, Emmanuel Boakye
Coach: David Jones ('97 Alumni of the team) Assistant Coach: Joe Czupryn ('08 Alumni of the team)
The Northmont Academic Challenge Team is one of the most successful teams in the West Central region, qualifying for regionals on 12 occasions (finishing 3rd a record 6 times), and winning the High Q championship on 2 occasions (with 4 other Final Four appearances).
The team was founded in 1991 by Carol Roberts, who led the team to six consecutive regional appearances and 4 consecutive league titles. After Mrs. Roberts retirement from coaching in 2004, Bill Patrizio led the team for 2 years.
David Jones took over the Northmont program midseason in 2005, competing only in GWOC league competition (4th place) and the UC Bearcat Buzzerbowl. The team reappeared on the state scene in 2006-2007, with captain Anna Henry leading the T-Bolts to a regionals appearance and a High-Q Final Four appearance.
The 2007-2008 team, captained by Joe Czupryn and featuring a very young supporting cast, captured 2 league championships, a conference MVP (Joe Czupryn- GWOC), a coach of the year award (D.Jones- GWOC), a regionals appearance, 6th place NAQT states, and qualification for PACE and NAQT nationals.
The current iteration of Northmont Academic Challenge is captained by lone senior Amma Boakye. Sophomores Brandon Williams and Michael Czupryn will lead this years team, as both are dominant players for sophomores. Junior Miranda Dehart will contribute as the literature guru. A cast of new incoming freshmen under the guidance of Joe Czupryn will have ample opportunity to participate, as the team will continue its 150+ game yearly schedule.
