Harding University is a small Christian Liberal arts school located in Searcy, Arkansas. Harding’s quiz bowl team is officially known as the Harding Academic Quiz Team and has been active for a good number of years.
Recent Years
The Harding Academic Quiz Team has been in a rebuilding stage since Jason Loy graduated in 2008. The 2008-2009 season saw Harding appear at only two regular tournaments - Tulsa's Golden Hurricane Open in the fall, and the NAQT SCT 2009 Central at WUSTL. The team was in the bottom of the field for both of these tournaments, but saw promise in its young players.
The 2009-2010 season so far has seen the team travel to four tournaments. The team appeared at the University of Illinois' mirror of Brown's Early Fall Tournament IV, ACF Fall at Mizzou, GIT XIV (Washington University's mirror of Delta Burke), and ACF Winter at Missouri State. The team fell into the lowest bracket after prelims at ACF Fall, but did well after that rebracketing. The team was also rebracketed low at GIT XIV, but a round robin of the low-placed teams saw Harding go 3-0, defeating teams all to which they had lost earlier that day. The team took fourth place in a field of six at ACF Winter 2010, and sophomore Caleb Robbins was fourth in scoring.
2004-2008
