Saajid Moyen was a quiz bowler at the University of Pennsylvania.
Career
High School
Saajid played for Copley High School until graduating in 2011. He was the second-highest overall scorer at both the 2011 HSNCT and the 2011 NASAT, which he notably chose to attend as part of Team Ohio instead of going to the Chicago phase of the NAC with the rest of his team.
College
Saajid has carved out a place as the second scorer on Penn, adding considerable literature and music knowledge to the team. He got several critical buzzes during the team's 4th-place run at 2012 ACF Nationals, and much more importantly has single-handedly pulled the team out of its organizational quagmire, later turning over those responsibilities to Sarita Jamil. He studied like mad before and during the 2014-15 competition year to become a much stronger second scorer for the team en route to its title victory at his last collegiate tournament, 2015 ACF Nationals.
