Cornell Results

On November 2nd-3rd, four Dartmouth debaters made the long trip to Ithaca, NY to compete in the Cornell Parliamentary debate tournament. Both Dartmouth pairs got off to a great start, each going 3-0 in their rounds on Friday. Unfortunately, neither team could carry that success into day two and both finished with a 3-2 record. However, it should be noted that neither pair lost a round to a team that finished worse than 6th overall. Additionally, Dartmouth debaters brought several awards back with them to Hanover. Connor Beatty and Ben Lo took home 8th place team, with Connor and Ben finishing as the 7th and 9th speaker, respectively. Edward “E” McNeill also won the 3rd place novice speaker award.
