Will be competitive on the national "TOC" circuit. Ive broken at tournaments like the Glenbrooks and New Trier. Went to nats sophomore year, going again this year. Over 1300 NFL points. 2nd at state in Policy Debate, 4th in extemp, 3rd in prose reading. I also taught a debate course at the local middle school. My essays will probably revolve around debate.
