Kentridge High School senior Christian Ie will appear in the “Jeopardy!” Teen Tournament, which airs Thursday to March 12.

Ie is one of 15 students who made it into the Teen Tournament, out of about 500 who auditioned for the show.

He taped the show back in December and is not allowed to say how far he got in the competition. But, he did walk away with some money, he told the Renton Reporter in a recent interview.

The grand prize winner received $75,000; second place got $50,000; third was $25,000, semifinalist received $10,000 and those eliminated in the first round got $5,000.
