Jeopardy Results

Congrats to Wellesley Junior Laura Rigge on a well-played Jeopardy! match which aired Friday night.

Wellesley College student Laura Rigge, class of 2014, competed on Jeopardy! on Friday night. Rigge, a Russian major, was helped by her knowledge of Russian literature & geography in a few categories. She held 2nd place for most of the game, but an incorrect answer in Final Jeopardy! dropped her into 3rd place to end the match. Congratulations to Laura for a well-played game!

Laura's not the first member of the Wellesley College community to appear on the game show. Last week, an alumna on Wellesley's Facebook page started a thread asking how many other alumnae had competed on Jeopardy! -- while it's not an official count of past participants, Wellesley's Facebook friends counted at least 5 alumnae who'd been on the show.

The Jeopardy! College Championship continues through May 17th.
