Ned Tagtmeier ("tacked"-my-ur) is a third-year and club officer at The University of Chicago. He is primarily a literature and RMPSS player, but also regularly buzzed in some pockets of science (until teammate Adam Fine rendered that skill largely irrelevant).

In high school, Ned Tagtmeier played for St. Mark's School of Texas in Dallas, Texas. As a senior, Ned led St. Mark's to win the online [1] regional mirror of IKEA, beating a strong WUSTL A team twice in the process. Ned had a strong performance at the 2021 IPNCT, coming in third place. He continued his successful nationals season at the 2021 SSNCT. At SSNCT, Ned and his teammate Aayush Goodapaty broke the Hoppes-Mikanowski limit over 15 games en route to winning the Open Division. Ned then led St. Mark's to a third-place finish at the 2021 NSC.

At Chicago, Ned became a member of the A team in his first year, performing ably in Division I of 2022 ICT and the top bracket of 2022 ACF Nationals. He was also on the teams that won the inaugural IQBT Undergraduate Championship, placed second at 2023 ICT and 2023 ACF Nationals, and won 2024 ICT Division I.

Ned has contributed as a writer to many high school-focused sets, including Saturnalia, and has subject-edited for two instances of ACF Fall.
