Speech and Debate Returns to In-Person Competition

Last weekend, the debate team celebrated our return to in-person competition. We participated in the Western JV and Novice National Championship, a competitive championship tournament to close out the season for first and second year debaters, held at Laney College in Oakland, CA. Lukas Updegraff '24/Luca Tonda '24, Disha Sharma '25/Lesli Munoz-Perez '24, and Dom Oliveri '24/Lela Potter '24 all debated in the novice division, and Zadie DeFord '24/Lex Meyer '24 debated in JV. 

Every single SA team who participated won at least one debate, and the team of Lukas Updegraff and Luca Tonda earned an impressive winning record against competitors from all over the country. Jack Jacobs '22, Mateo Mijares '22, and Maddy Jannes '22 all attended the tournament as judges. Congratulations to all of our debaters!
