Debate Team Early Success
Sep 28th, 2009 by tscheffler
In an attempt to resurrect our team news I will try to get debate results posted.
At Marquette all five entries reached elimination rounds a earned legs to state.
In PF, Yi Yi & Michelle Yang were quarter-finalists and Lingran Kong & Valerie Shen were semi-finalists.
In LD, Arjun Seshadri was a quarter-finalist, Pratyusha Kalluri a semi-finalist, and Brendan Caldwell, who went without a loss, was the Champion.
At the Mid-America Cup, out of a field of 102 LDers from more than a dozen and a half states, Brendan Caldwell reached the double-octo finals, losing on a 2-1 decision. Breaking at a TOC-bid tournament is a rare event, with less than five Wisconsin LDers accoplishing the feat in the past five years.
