Tim Sears ’21 wins $21,250 on Wheel of Fortune
Tim Sears ’21 (Springfield, Mass.) was a contestant on Wheel of Fortune’s College Week in March — the second Friar (Michael Foss ’19) to be featured during College Week in as many years.
Sears, a finance and philosophy double major, made it to the final puzzle — “PARK GUIDE” — but could not solve it. Still, he won $21,250.
Meanwhile, viewers of the first Jeopardy “Greatest of All Time” competition in January might have recognized a PC alum as the question for the clue below.
Contestant Brad Rutter correctly answered “Who is Peter Farrelly?” for $600.
The screenwriter and director, who graduated in 1979 and won his first two Academy Awards in 2019, had just met with PC students the day before, during the annual PC in Hollywood trip.
