Arkansas wins National IFT College Bowl
A University of Arkansas team of food science students won first place in the National IFT College Bowl competition July 30 at the Institute of Food Technologists annual meeting in Chicago. Team members are Ken Over (captain), Vishal Jain, Arvind Kannan, Brittany Adams, Michael Kaminski and Sarah Stribling. Coach Navam Hettiarachchy said, “Our team demonstrated excellent performance, and very hard questions related to food science were answered spontaneously in a competitive professional manner.” The UA team was one of six regional champion teams in the national contest. Others were from the University of Minnesota, Penn State University, Purdue University, Chapman University and the University of Georgia. Dr. Hettiarachchy, University Professor of food science, has coached the team for many years. Her teams have won several regional championships, including the last three years, and another national championship in 1966. Former students of hers are now faculty members and college bowl coaches Louisiana State University, Oklahoma State University and Chapman University.
