HCHS Debate Team Second Overall at TOC

Congrats to the Hunter College High School Debate Team for placing second overall as a team at the Tournament of Champions, held in Louisville Kentucky.

 

Congrats to Nina P. for second place (2-1 loss in finals) at the 2017 Tournament of Champions in Lincoln Douglas. She was also top speaker and top seed, going undefeated in prelims -- our best showing ever by a Hunter debater at the Tournament of Champions. Nina is only the second female LD Debater in the history of the TOC to win Top Speaker, the last coming twenty years ago (1997). She is only the 5th female debater in the history of TOC to win Top Speaker in any category (Policy, LD and Public Forum).

 

In Public Forum, four teams (Kaley P., Lizzie M., Joshua M., David M., Clara K., Amala K., Jillian F., and Thomas B.) qualified to the TOC, the greatest number of teams that qualified from a single school.
