And that’s a wrap on Kentucky! Dartmouth CG (Nora Cai ‘27 & Leah Goldberg ‘28) placed 2nd in the tournament, collecting 5th and 15th speaker awards along with 4th place at the round robin.

Dartmouth BC (Sheima Ben-Abdallah ‘27 and Katie Carpenter ‘28) and Dartmouth SR (Jerry Song ‘30 & Sebastian Rao ‘28) completed 4-2 runs in the prelims, falling just short of breaking. Pour one out for BC who was 33rd a second time 🫂🫂🍺 They’ll both be coming for the elims soon⚡️⚡️

And shoutout to Dartmouth BP (Cooper Brody ‘29 and Ethan Park ‘29) and Dartmouth HH (Ellie Hatton ‘29 & Jaylen Hilario-Peralta ‘30) for putting up some great Ws & offering key support during the elims🚁🚁 Plus, Dartmouth CF (Bryan Chen ‘30 & Lilli Figueroa ‘30) won their first college debate this weekend!🌲🌲

Thanks @ukydebate for the hospitality. See you online at Harvard. #GOTREES #WINTUCKY

Today was my last day making work for my first design job ever. I owe so much to @msuhonors and its communications manager, Melanie Brender. Thank you for letting me explore my passion.

These @msu_debate graduates know how to leave a legacy.

Behind all the trophies and national tournaments are exceptional hard work and heart.

Swipe ⬅️ for farewell messages from Arielle Gearring, Joanna Gusis, and Glen Scully.

They say good things come in threes, and this trio came with uncommon will. They'll be leaving behind a lasting positive impact.
