Culver-Stockton College proudly announces the first-place win of its Quiz Bowl Team at the Missouri Athletic Trainers' Association (MOATA) Annual Educators & Student Leadership Conference held in Fayette, MO on February 3, 2024. This win marks the fourth time in seven years the C-SC team has qualified for districts and the second time it has won the MoATA Quiz Bowl. The first and second-place finishers will compete in the Mid-America Athletic Trainers' Association (MAATA) District Quiz Bowl on March 15 in LaVista, NE.
The MOATA, a member of The National Athletic Trainers’ Association, hosted the annual conference, bringing together educators and student leaders to discuss the latest developments in the field of athletic training. As part of the event, the Missouri Student Quiz Bowl Competition provided a platform for student teams to showcase their knowledge and skills.
“We are very proud of Jessica, Braden, and Morgan’s accomplishments. Our students’ success is both a reflection of their hard-earned knowledge and the College’s commitment to academic excellence. This win is not just an accolade; it is a testament to our phenomenal students, the program quality, and the opportunities that a C-SC education can provide,” stated Department Chair of Athletic Training & Health Sciences Dr. Jay Hoffman.
The MOATA competition not only serves as a platform for intellectual competition but also fosters a sense of camaraderie and sportsmanship, professional socialization, and networking among students studying athletic training. Culver-Stockton College is proud to be part of such an esteemed association event that promotes excellence in both education and extracurricular advocacy activities.
