Manchester High School’s quiz bowl team traveled on Saturday to the 2024 NAQT Michigan Class C/D State Championship at Michigan State University in East Lansing. Manchester had a great first half and finished the preliminary rounds undefeated, coming in first in their division. The afternoon was rougher and they lost all of their playoff rounds but ended the day ranking 6th in the State Class C/D. On top of that, graduating senior Peter Cocco made 1st Team All State as individual for the percentage of questions he answered correctly.
