Bill Lambert, Justin Stark, Carl Hinrichs and Travis Messina were members of the winning team. All four are MBA students at Vanderbilt’s Owen Graduate School of Management.
Emory University took second place and a prize of $3,000, and a team from Rice University won third place and a prize of $2,000.
