Wrangler (University of Cambridge)

For other uses, see Wrangler (disambiguation).
A student is named as Senior Wrangler in 1842, an accolade "synonymous with academic supremacy".

At the University of Cambridge in England, a "Wrangler" is a student who gains first-class honours in the Mathematical Tripos competition. The highest-scoring student is the Senior Wrangler, the second highest is the Second Wrangler, and so on. By contrast, the person who achieves the lowest exam marks while still earning a third-class honours degree (that is, while still earning an honours degree at all) is known as the wooden spoon.
