The last week of January 2016, Tulane Debate sent five teams of debaters to compete in the Southern Forensics Championship Tournament in Shreveport, LA. Cody Beaird, debating as part of a hybrid team and in his first year of debate, broke to semifinals and was the top NPDA speaker of the tournament. Susannah Wright and James Capuzzi also advanced to semi-finals. The team of Alexander Parini and Armand Keshishian made it to the final round, with Alexander also winning the 3rd top speaker award of the tournament. Great job to everyone who competed!
