The Debate Club attended their Super Regional tournament, hosted by Cosby High School, on Sat. Mar. 22. While each member who attended Regionals did not qualify for Super Regionals, Midlo was able to send six competitors out of the original 12. Thankfully, each competitor at Supers was able to advance to States, the team’s next tournament.
Varsity Public Forum team Emma Springvloed, 10, and Cormac Hogan, 10, placed 2nd in their category. Mira Farhat, 10, earned 4th place in Varsity Lincoln Douglas. Samira Umurzokova, 9, Subhana Adiga, 11, and Atula Kudithipudi, 9, all placed in Congress. “I was really happy we won,” Hogan said. “We worked really hard to get to Supers, and we are all thrilled to be going to States.”
Due to the team member’s excellent scores, Midlo received 3rd overall. The team’s next competition is States, which will occur on Sat, Apr, 22. The tournament will be hosted by James Madison University. The team is incredibly excited to attend States and have already begun preparing to win.
