The Hunter College High School quiz bowl team is, with Stuyvesant, one of the only two known teams in New York City.
History
The team was founded in early 2006 by Guy Tabachnick. The team made its first appearance at TJ Fall '06, making the playoffs, and went on to finish 7-3 and tied for 33rd at the 2007 HSNCT. They have been an East Coast powerhouse ever since.
At the 2012 HSNCT, they finished tied for 5th. Coincidentally, their B-team also finished 33rd.
At the 2012 NSC, they captured their first national championship, defeating Bellarmine in a one-match final. Their B-team finished 17th as the highest-ranked B-team in attendance, defeating IMSA B in a head-to-head match.
At the 2012 National History Bee and Bowl, a subset of the 2012 team roster won the National History Bowl title. At the Bee finals held at Mount Vernon, Richard Yu tied for second place.
Tournaments
Hunter hosted its first tournament, the 2008 Prison Bowl, on January 19th, 2008. The questions were generally hailed as being of high quality and are available here. Prison Bowl II, a collaboration with Walter Johnson, happened in January 2009, and Prison Bowls III and IV, head-edited by Lily Chen, occurred in the springs of 2010 and 2011 to critical acclaim.
