Wake Debate Team Champions

Big news on campus yesterday!  We want to congratulate Wake Debaters Richard Min (a senior Politics and International Affairs major) and Ken Bailey (a senior Computer Science major) who won the American Debate Association National Tournament.  They defeated Emory University in the finals on Monday, March 11.

Wake Forest debaters fared very well in this tournament:

– Min and Bailey met Wake’s Jacob Hurwitz (a first-year student) and Lee Quinn (a junior Classical Studies major) in the semi-finals

– Teams of Joe LeDuc (a sophomore Politics and International Affairs major) and Michael Crowe  (a sophomore Politics and International Affairs major) and Bennett Clifford ( a first-year student) and Vale Villa (a first-year student) reached the Octa-Final Round
