Region X's last qualifying tournament was a hit! It was the biggest tournament we've ever had. It was also a great opportunity to continue growing in our speaking skills. We've got happy news... I broke to semifinals in Apologetics, and Sam broke in Humorous Interpretation and Impromptu. Besides that, he and his partner also broke in Team Policy debate! Three teams from our club broke to quarterfinals. Two of them debated against each other, so only one could go on. But that team, and Sam and his partner, made it on to the semifinal rounds! I felt like it was our two-year-old club's most successful tournament. Caleb, who hadn't yet broken in his Thematic Interpretation, won in that category. And Simeon, who hadn't even meant to sign up for LD debate, rolled with it and qualified to Regionals. So in a couple of weeks everyone will be headed back down to New Jersey to compete in the Regional Qualifier. Here are some photo highlights of the week.
