The Debate Team Starts their Season
9 Varsity debaters went to the Capital Round Robin this past weekend for a "warmer upper" for our season.
Congratulate the team of senior Cooper Dean and sophomore Clara Harding for winning 4 out of 5 prelim rounds and breaking to quarterfinals. They lost that round by a 2-1 vote of the judge panel. Considering it's Clara's first varsity tournament, and that both debaters are working without their regular partner, it was a very good outing indeed.
Sophomores Jack Keating and Petra Glenn each won 3 out of 5 prelims (debating separately) in Lincoln-Douglas debate. This was the first tournament of their first varsity season, which is usually a rough place to be. They managed with enthusiasm and aplomb.
Our next tournament is happening this Saturday here at Wood River.
Come over at 9:00 AM and support!
