This just in from DA Debate Coach Jeff Welty: "Both DA public forum teams posted winning records at this selective and highly competitive event (touted by its hosts as "America's Foremost Debate Competition"). Juniors Grace Wallack and Dede Pless went 4-3, narrowly missing the cutoff for elimination rounds. Josh Zoffer and Robert Kindman were the only sophomore team to advance to the eliminations rounds; they lost in the octafinals, finishing tied for 9th in a very strong field. Both teams showed why they are among the best in the country."
"It really was a great tournament -- the quality of the competition in public forum debate has grown by leaps and bounds over the past several years. The kids prepared well and debated well, but every round was a battle.
