ECC College Bowl team to compete at state

Elgin Community College's College Bowl team will compete for the state championship on April 25 at Moraine Valley Community College in Palos Hills after a first-place win in the Illinois Community College Student Activities Association Regional College Bowl regional tournament.

The College Bowl is an academic trivia bee consisting of various subjects in college-level courses. Teams of four players compete in a timed tournament to answer questions individually and as a team.

The team was at the state tournament last year. Before that, the team was in the tournament in 2004, 2003, 1994 and 1993.

Team members include Steve Krull of Elgin, the team's captain; Tristan Angulo of Carpentersville; Courtney Hamill of Streamwood; Arezou Kashani of Algonquin; and Charles Gorman of St. Charles. The team's coach is Katie Storey, ECC's coordinator of student volunteer and community outreach programs, and a former ECC College Bowl state qualifying team member.

The state College Bowl tournament is co-sponsored by the Illinois Community College Trustees Association and the Illinois Community College Student Activities Association.
