The newly formed #SoleburySchool #Debate Team had a very impressive showing this past weekend at #Princeton Universitys High School Debate Tournament. Our President, Jenny, made it to a bubble round for Novice LD (Lincoln Douglas). This means that in the sixth round of the debate tournament, Jenny was in contention to finish within the top 25 students of the field of 88 students who competed in the Novice LD category. Also, in her 3rd round, Jenny finished as the 2nd best speaker. Chloe too competed in the Novice LD category and spoke very well for her first debate, finishing with an average speaker score that could have allowed her to compete for a bubble round. And finally, Jessie and Kevin competed in Congress among seasoned high school debaters and held their own. They both made multiple speeches in their rounds and got valuable competitive experience. In all, our four debaters spent their entire weekend battling it out in verbal fisticuffs and came out with multiple victories. It was a promising start for our young team and were looking to build off that success.
