Zyzzyva98 joined the scioly.org community in November of 2009, and quickly became a frequent user. He participated in Kansas for five years. Over the course of his career, he has won at least 73 medals en route to helping his team to its first ever national tournament berth in 2012. The pinnacle achievement of his career was his second place finish in Sounds of Music at the 2012 National Tournament.
