Update: Tune in to Jeopardy! Wednesday, Jan. 15, at 4 p.m. (CST) to see if returning champion Sarah McNitt will continue her winning streak.

After years taking the online quizzes, auditioning for the popular game show, and even watching as one of her close friends made it to the big stage, Sarah McNitt, a study abroad advisor in UI International Programs, got her moment in the spotlight as a Jeopardy! contestant.

McNitt’s program will be aired for the first time this Tuesday, Jan. 14, at 4 p.m. (CST) on KWWL. Be sure to check your local programming schedules to catch McNitt in action.

As all contestants are forbidden to discuss specific clues or results before their show airs, McNitt has contained her excitement for months, but she shares a brief timeline of her journey to Jeopardy! in a blog entry: The Final Countdown.
