Keg-O-Lager IV


F.Y.i continues its tradition to dominate @ KQA quizzes. At the KQA Anniversary High School Ranking Quiz, Athith and Shubham placed First. Cheers guys.

Rewinding your clocks a little to July 5th, KQA had a meet at IAT and here again, Athith and Shubham placed first with Rooshil and Madhusudan giving them a run for their money and placing closely behind. Let the lager flow like water gentlemen. Here's hoping that the F.Y.i winning streak continues...
Cheers!
