7th PLACE AT NATIONALS!


From the 24th to the 26th, two Dartmouth teams, Joe Huston and Andrew Wansley and Tarang Agarwal and E McNeil, competed at the AMerican Parliamentary Debate National Tournament hosted by Mount Holyoke College.
Joe and Andrew emerged as the 7th place team, making it all the way to quarterfinals.
Teams qualifying to the Nationals tournament had to consistently break to out-rounds throughout the year in order to fill the quota of points needed for an invitation to the tournament.
This achievement was the culminating experience for Joe's and Andrew's 5-tournament break record.
Tarang Agarwal and E McNeil also performed well at the tournament.
