A team from DU’s second-year Japanese class won the annual Japan Cup competition held by the Japan America Society of Colorado in April.
Teams from various high schools, colleges and universities from Colorado and Wyoming competed to perform Japanese language tasks and answer cultural questions in the competition April 14.
The competition was held in DU’s Sturm Hall, and was attended by the Consul General of Japan. DU had two second-year teams entered in the college level competition. The victorious team — John DeWitt (captain), Ivy Roberts and Bradley Lund — narrowly defeated two teams from Colorado State University in the final round.
