Montgomery Teen Competes On 'Jeopardy!'

BETHESDA, MD — A Chevy Chase teen will compete on the "Jeopardy!" Teen Tournament on Wednesday, June 19.

Sophia Weng — a junior at Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring — will compete in the quarterfinals against two high schoolers from Georgia and Ohio, DCist reported.

The 16-year-old told the news outlet that she has always been a fan of trivia.

"I do a bunch of competitions at my high school — Science Bowl, Quiz Bowl," Weng said.

The teen, however, only began watching ABC's Emmy-awarding winning show "Jeopardy!" when she was studying for Quiz Bowl.

After taking a teen "Jeopardy!" test, Weng was invited to come in and audition for the show.

"(I)t was so fun; I had a really good audition," Weng told DCist.

Weng was later flown out to Culver City, California to tape the show. On set, she met more than a dozen teens from across the country.

The "Jeopardy!" Teen Tournament pits 15 teens against each other for a $100,000 grand prize.

Already pre-taped, Weng's first match against Justin Bolsen, of Georgia, and Rohit Kataria, of Ohio, will air on ABC later this week. According to DCist, there are two more rounds before a winner is crowned.

The "Jeopardy!" Teen Tournament airs Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. on WJLA.
