Alex participated in the debate tournament at Bear Creek School in October with Aroura. They made it to the semifinals in the experienced division. A few weeks later Aroura was unavailable so Alex entered novice Extemporaneous speaking at Tahoma High's tournament and he got 1st place. Topics included the NRA, Zimbabwe, the UK prime minister, and the federal election process. Then, 2 weeks later he also won the novice Extemporaneous speaking at Bellevue School District tournament. Topics included Canadian special powers, Canadian immigration, impact of world cup on Qatar, and what Scottish independence could mean for the EU. Wow! He is no longer allowed to compete in the novice division. Then a week later, Alex and Aroura tied for 2nd in public forum at Auburn Riverside (where EPS swept the top 5).
Julia did her first school debate tournament with Nami and Hamsini. They were 4-0. Julia had the best speaker scores on her team and probably placed ~15 (not confirmed). OWS finished 2nd. Way to go, Julia.
