Presec wins 7th NSMQ trophy

Presbyterian Boys Senior High School (PRESEC), Legon, made it a record of seven-time winners of the National Science and Maths Quiz on Wednesday night, when they pulled a final round surprise to overtake Kumasi based Prempeh College to win the ultimate in 2022.

The boys successfully fought off Prempeh College’s threats of equaling two of their records in one swing.

They pulled the surprise in the final round 5 when they overtook Prempeh College who had led in the earlier rounds.

Their back-to-back record is intact from the Prempeh College threat and they have extended their tally to seven trophies, two more than Prempeh College who sought to catch up.

Adisadel College also failed their quest to return the trophy to Cape Coast after a three-year drought for the city that has so many trophies, only one behind Accra until today.

The contest itself was as heated as it could get with all the schools missing the first two rounds of questions.

PRESEC ended the final round with 50 points as against 41 by Prempeh College and 32 points by Adisadel College.
