Speech and Debate Superstars!

Capitol Valley Forensic League (Sacramento's high school speech and debate league) recently recognized the outstanding achievements of the two debaters representing our school: Ethan M. ‘29 and Prthvi P. ‘28. 

With their outstanding performances in regional competitions, these two students have qualified for the Tournament of Champions (TOC) in Kentucky, an honor earned by roughly 200 teams from a pool of thousands of debate teams from across the country each year.

Ethan and Prthvi earned part of their qualification at Stockton's University of the Pacific, and another at the John Lewis Invitational (at which they were co-champions). They are slated to continue representing Country Day at the remaining two largest debate tournaments in NorCal: James Logan High School and UC Berkeley. Depending on their results at those tournaments, they may qualify for the Gold division of the TOC.

We appreciate the magnitude of their achievement, as it is truly a rare moment to have a team qualify for the Tournament of Champions in our Sacramento-area schools, and wish them good luck in Kentucky in April!
