Tulane Debate finished off the Fall Semester by competing at the annual Tennessee Porch Swing NPDA tournament. Freshman team Khristyan Trejo and Samm Clark were the 2nd-place novice team of the tournament, earning 1st and 2nd place novice speaker awards, respectively. Tim DeCotis and Claire Kueffner advanced to varsity semifinals, and the team of Alexander Parini and Armand Keshishian got 2nd place at the tournament after advancing all the way to the final round. It was a strong showing from many of Tulane Debate’s newer members and we look forward to continued success in the spring.
