		+	On October 30, 2021, Choate Orca, consisting of An, Nicholas, Athena Liu '23, and Henry Ding '24 won LIFT XX. Some argue that the tournament's bracketing system allowed Choate to avoid some powerful opponents, which facilitated this highly unlikely win.

-choate quiz bowl! was founded in autumn 2019 by co-captains Emma Hermacinski '22 and Anya Miksovsky '20. During the 2020-2021 school year, the cqb! president was Andrew Lee '21, and the captain was Emma Hermacinski. In 2021, Nathan Nicholas '23 was elected president, and Joy An '23 was elected captain.
+choate quiz bowl! was founded in autumn 2019 by co-captains Emma Hermacinski '22 and Anya Miksovsky '20. Its first tournament was HFT XIV, at which it fielded three teams (Choate Axolotl, Choate Pterodactyl, and Choate Ostrich). Around this time, Choate teams were built to be balanced, instead of having an optimized A team and weaker B or C teams. The characteristic animal names reflected this uncertainty by leaving teams' relative abilities unclear.
-On 23 January 2021, Choate hosted [[CORGI]] ([https://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=24708 forums post]), a tossup only mirror of RAFT II. The tournament was directed by Lucas Eggers '21, with Joy An as assistant TD, Emma Hermacinski as Head Moderator, and Spencer Bowles '22 as head statistician.
+During the 2020-2021 school year, the cqb! president was Andrew Lee '21, and the captain was Emma Hermacinski. On April 19, 2020, Choate won its first tournament, SCOP Novice Online, as Choate Lava Lizard (Emma Hermacinski, Andrew Lee, Joy An '23, and Nathan Nicholas '23). At the time, this was the largest online tournament in quizbowl history, though that has long since been superseded.
-Choate placed 10th at the [[2021 NSC|2021 PACE NSC]].
+Over the course of the 2020-21 season, Lucas Eggers '21, Andrew Lee, Joy An, and Nathan Nicholas, would go on to become the most successful Choate team yet. In one of their most notable achievements, Eggers, Lee, and An attended the high school invitational mirror of [[WORKSHOP]] ([https://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&p=383259 forums post]). They were joined by Nicholas in placing 10th at the [[2021 NSC|2021 PACE NSC]], the first time Choate attended a nationals tournament.
