As a sophomore, Arjun's successes would only continue. As a full-time member of the Stevenson A team, Arjun would get a number of valuable buzzes for the team, all across the field but especially in history, current events, and fine arts. In NHBB, Arjun would win the be the JV State Champion for Illinois, and performed well at nationals, securing 2nd place in the US History Bee JV division and making it to the quarterfinals for the National History Bee JV division, whilst being part of the Stevenson varsity team that won 5th in the varsity bowl. However, above all these accomplishments rests Arjun's work with Groger Ranks. What began as a collaboration with the Groger brothers of Ohio has become a more recognised component of quiz bowl, as the organisation publishes its own rankings, sells quiz bowl notebooks, and even organised a successful online mirror of ILLIAC in April of 2019.
