Wash. U. Student Nick Yozamp Wins on ‘Jeopardy!’
Who is appearing on “Jeopardy!” Monday afternoon? Nick Yozamp, a junior biology major at Washington University. The pre-med is representing Washington University in “Jeopardy!”
Last Thursday, Yozamp appeared on “Jeopardy! College Championship” on NBC, beating out representatives from other universities in the quarterfinal round.
Yozamp eked out a win with the Final Jeopardy question: “Owain Glyndwr, who died circa 1416, was the last native of his country to claim this title.” The question was “Who is the Prince of Wales?”
The Cathedral High School graduate trailed a student from Santa Clara University in California going into Final Jeopardy. Yozamp bet just enough to give himself a $1 lead over the leader . The Santa Clara student then gave a wrong answer.
Yozamp’s tournament winnings currently total $36,001. The actual taping took place in Universal City, California, during the first week of January. Yozamp has remained mum about whether he advanced to the finals and won the $100,000 grand prize.
