TOP AREA INDIVIDUALS REPRESENT NEVADA ON NATIONAL STAGE
|
The National Championship part of the season began on Saturday with NAQT's Individual Player National Championship Tournament. Three players from Las Vegas--Elliot Lefebvre (9th, Meadows), William Russman (8th, Meadows), and Shawn Frost (11th, Desert Oasis)--joined a field of 300 of the best players in the country for 6 rounds of questions on college-level difficulty. All three left with something to be proud of for the entire weekend.

Elliot Lefebvre--133rd Place (T-8th among Freshmen)
Elliot placed the highest among all Nevada participants. In three of his six rounds, he reached the maximum point threshold and buzzed out to end the round early. In addition, he shined in his specialty category of Science. Among all competitors, he was the 27th highest on all Science questions. His line for the entire day was 4 powers, 41 tens, and 17 negs--good enough to be the highest finisher in Nevada history.
William Russman--157th Place (T-8th among 8th Graders)
One of the youngest competitors in the field, William Russman accepted the two daunting challenges of playing against HS upperclassmen and doing so on college-level packets. In spite of those hurdles, he more than held his own. Russman's best performance of the day came in his final round when he was the first to buzz out after reaching the 90-point threshold. What might be even more impressive for him was that he was the 38th highest scorer on Geography and 49th highest scorer on History. His line for the entire day was 6 powers, 31 tens, and 8 negs.
Shawn Frost--229th Place
After making a solo appearance for Desert Oasis at the Nevada State Tournament, Shawn Frost once again pulled solo duty for the Diamondbacks. Among all scorers, he was the 82nd highest on literature. Shawn's best moment of the day came in Round 3 when he was the first one to buzz out after reaching the threshold. It was fast for him, too--he completed the task in just 50 tossups. Shawn's final line for the day was 4 powers, 25 tens, and 25 negs.
