DELGADO WINS 2008 LOUISIANA RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGIST STUDENT QUIZ BOWL

The Louisiana Society of Radiologic Technologists (LSRT) held its 51st Annual Conference at the Chateau Sonesta Hotel in New Orleans Jul. 17 – 19, 2008. On the first day of the conference, 12 Radiologic Technology programs from across the state headed off against each other in the LSRT Student Quiz Bowl, a fierce double-elimination competition held annually.

Teams participating in the quiz bowl included: Baton Rouge General Hospital; Career Tech College (Monroe, LA); Delgado Community College; Lafayette General Hospital; LSU at Alexandria; LSU at Eunice; North Oaks (Hammond); Ochsner/Our Lady of Holy Cross; Our Lady of the Lake; Northwestern State University (B.S. program); Southern University at Shreveport; and University of Louisiana at Monroe (B.S. program).

The members of the Delgado Radiologic Technologist Student Quiz Bowl Team, coached by faculty members Ty Delger and Rebecca Mercer, were: Holly Goodman, Brent Gros, Dawn Kaufman, Catherine Moreau, Amy Mutter and Holly Zemke. In preparation for the competition, these students devoted hours of personal time above and beyond classroom responsibilities every week to practice throughout the spring and summer semesters. For many Radiologic Technology programs, quiz bowl team participation is mandatory; at Delgado, participation is fully voluntary, a labor of personal commitment and dedication.

Delgado played in the very first game of the 2008 LRST Student Quiz Bowl, a tough one, and lost by 5 points. But the team rallied, working its way through the losers’ bracket all the way up to the finals. In the finals, the Delgado team had to beat the undefeated team from Our Lady of the Lake twice to top the competition. The pressure was on, and the Delgado team put in a tremendous effort to win the first game. Then, the second and final game ended in a tie. The Bowl championship would have to be determined in a three-question sudden death round.

Once again, the Delgado team pulled through, answering two of the three questions to win the Student Bowl. The team and coaches were presented with a trophy, award plaques and a check for $300 at the Presidential Banquet on Friday Evening. This was the first time since 2000 that Delgado has won the LRST Student Bowl. Congratulations to the outstanding team members and coaches!
