Parli Debate Travels to San Diego for Tournament of Champions
Last weekend, Parliamentary debate team members Astrid Lemons ‘28, Laila Sene ‘28, Sam Worthington ‘26, Campbell Langdon ‘26, and Austin Gordon ‘26 traveled to San Diego to compete in the National Parliamentary Debate League Tournament of Champions.
Austin and Campbell’s team won the championship last year, and upon their return this year, finished as quarterfinalists after nine rigorous rounds of debate. In addition, Parli team captain Sam Worthington was recognized for his individual achievement and awarded seventh place overall speaker.
The team had a blast in San Diego, taking a break from debate rounds to enjoy the California sun and visit the sea lions at the Point of La Jolla.
We extend special thanks to parent judges Jay Worthington P’26 and Jocelyn Strauber P’26 for traveling with us to San Diego and for their extraordinary support of the team.
