Purdue professor Adriana Harmeyer earned super champion status in "Jeopardy!" Tournament of Champions game-show history and will play in the finals.

Heading into Final Jeopardy, Adriana had 22,000 against Ryan’s 12,000, which meant this game wasn’t a runaway, but certainly close heading into the final round. The category was “Countries of the World,” with the clue reading, “About 80 miles from Vladivostok, its 11-mile land border with Russia is the shortest of that country’s 14 neighbors.”

After a historic 15-day run in 2024, Huntington native and Marshall graduate Adriana Harmeyer has returned to the Alex Trebek stage and is just one step away from winning the Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions.
