Susannah Batko-Yovino

Susannah Batko-Yovino (born 1979) was a Pennsylvania winner of the National Geography Bee, and the second youngest, and the first of only two female winners. Her winning question in the 1990 bee was "Mount Erebus is a volcano on which continent?". Her correct answer was Antarctica. She helped pass a 1993 bill to increase funding for geography education. She later received a B.A. from Johns Hopkins University and an M.D. from the University of Maryland. She is currently (as of 2006) in training to become a radiation oncologist.

In 1995, Susannah was a finalist in the "Jeopardy!" Teen Tournament, losing to eventual winner and Ultimate Tournament of Champions quarterfinalist Matthew Zielenski.
