Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: As we move onto the sixth and final day of quarterfinals in the Jeopardy! National College Championship, we have Spelman’s Claire Jackson, Georgetown’s Nam Vu, and Tulane’s Fiona Hellerman competing for a spot in the semifinals. We’ll be seeing today’s winner again tomorrow, as the winner will be playing against Harvard’s Neha Seshadri and Kennesaw State’s Raymond Goslow in semifinal #1.
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they are able to, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Dang 🙁 After an 8 game FJ win streak, I missed this one, coming up with “Gettysburg” also (although I knew it was wrong). tch Good luck to Nam in the Semis!
Interesting that the Georgetown contestant missed the FJ. You can see the school from Arlington National Cemetery
