SHELBY TOWNSHIP/STERLING HEIGHTS/ UTICA — The Gene L. Klida Utica Academy for International Studies quiz bowl team, which is undefeated in Michigan competitions, won the Class B Michigan state championship in Lansing April 13. The team was head and shoulders above its competition. After 11 wins, no losses and outscoring its opponents 5,670-800, the team walked away with the state title. The GLK-UAIS quiz bowl team was ranked 34th in nation in February. When new Groger rankings came out the day after the championship, the team was ranked 40th in the nation. Senior Brendan Pawlicki and sophomore Ben Edmunds were named all-state and were easily the two strongest players at the event. Sophomore Daniel Buzdugan and freshmen Yousif Hadoo and Colin Mondoux also added valuable contributions to the victory. Edmunds said he is proud to be a part of how far the team has come since he first joined. “I have been involved for about a year in the team, but you can see how far we have come to be at this level. It says a lot about this team,” he said.
