'''Alan Wu''' is a player at [[Vanderbilt]] and previous player at [[Rutgers]] and Holmdel High School. Despite repeated allegations by [[Andrew Zeng]] and others, Alan maintains that he is not a military history player.

He is a Chinese history specialist and is otherwise known for going on long tangents about his ancestors and opera. He additionally speaks Mandarin Chinese, French, and German.

==Career==
===High school===
Alan co-founded the quizbowl club at Holmdel High School, and served as president for all four years. The club was primarily focused on [[NHBB]] events, with Alan winning the 2021 Northern New Jersey C-Set National History Bee regional. He placed sixth in the 2021 Varsity National History Bee and eighth in the 2020 JV National History Bee.

===College===
Alan spent his college freshman year as part of the [[Rutgers]] quiz bowl team. He notably soloed 2022 ACF Fall at UMD , traveling nearly four hours to the site with a bizarre arrangement of four moderators and only one player, despite already meeting the minimum price cutoff with just one buzzer set and one moderator. At the [[2023 ICT]], he was part of Rutgers's second-place Division II team alongside Aum Mundhe and Aiden Dartley, losing to [[Waterloo]] in the second round of a disadvantaged final 380-400. He somehow had the highest power percentage of any player in the entire Division II field at 59.1% after scoring 13 powers. He is still bitter that he hasn't since been able to read a tossup ("these products") that he powered during the first round of finals.

Alan transferred to [[Vanderbilt]] in the Fall 2023 semester, but still occasionally appears in the Northeast to drag unfortunate victims in the quizbowl community to the Met Opera and overpriced dinners.
