The team of Michael Retchin and Parker Graham qualified for Nationals after competing among 28 teams in Toledo on Friday, February 19, and Saturday, February 20.
Debate team captain, Michael Retchin said, “The tournament was double-elimination, so if we ever lost two rounds before the Final, we would be knocked out of the tournament. We lost our first round, so it was a very intense experience, because the threat of losing another was always there. It was very much a come-from-behind win for us.”
Retchin and Graham’s record was 5-2.
