JACKSON, MI – Jackson has another "Jeopardy!" champion.

On the Thursday, July 10 episode of the TV game show, Jen Fiero, a library associate at Jackson College's Atkinson Library, came away a winner.

Earlier this year, Stephanie Jass, an Adrian College history professor and long-running "Jeopardy!" champ, made her third appearance on the show in its 30th-anniversary "Battle of the Decades" tournament.

Fiero, who's also the website manager for Sandhill Crane Vineyards, claimed victory after being in third place going into the "Final Jeopardy!" round.

She was the only contestant to answer correctly in a category titled "In The Dictionary." Her question, "What is ethereal?" to the answer "This adjective can mean delicate, heavenly or in chemistry related to C4H10O."

Her wager of $7,000 put her total winnings at $17,600, enough for a win. Fiero will be back on the show to see if she can make it two wins in a row at 7:30 p.m. Friday, July 11 on WILX-TV Channel 10.
