Erica Greil '10 does Jeopardy-- and wins


Your final exams and Dean's Date papers may make you feel that you're in jeopardy, but only one Princeton student can say that she is on Jeopardy this Reading Period. Erica Greil '10 competed in the Jeopardy College Championships, which were taped in March but are airing this month. (The contestants were sworn to secrecy as to the winner.)

Greil's first show aired this afternoon, when the Hastings, Minn., native faced off against Larissa Charnsangavej of Rice and Anthony Dedousis of Harvard. She was in third place at the beginning of Final Jeopardy and wagered $10,047 of her $11,600 winnings. She answered correctly, catapulting her ahead of Charnsangavej and Dedousis to take the semi-finalist spot.

The semi-final will air Wednesday, May 13.
