Yarmouth Speech & Debate flourished at the Maine State Championship this weekend! They won the Congressional Sportsmanship Award for the second year in a row, and placed 2nd overall in Congressional Sweeps! Additionally, Maddy Corson became the third Yarmouth debater in four years to win the Robert Hoy Excellence in Congress Scholarship.
In individual chambers, Maddy won first in Senate (her third tournament in a row taking away the very top spot in Maine Congressional Debate, and her fourth time doing so this season). Also in Senate, Sebastien Martínez placed fourth despite having switched in from House the very night before. Rounding out Yarmouth’s rankings, Joshua Leinwand nabbed third in his House chamber. Meanwhile, for his impressive efforts in his first year of speech and debate, Julius Sawhney has earned the National Speech and Debate Association’s Degree of Honor.
Since this event was also the Congressional qualifying tournament for the National Catholic Forensic League’s annual national tournament, Maddy’s win has earned her a spot at the NCFL National Tournament for the second time in as many years! She is invited to Washington DC over Memorial Day Weekend to compete against the very best Congressional Debaters from around the country. Thanks to their performances, Sebastien and Joshua are both alternates for the same tournament.
The last Congressional Debate tournament of the season is March 5th’s Maine District Qualifiers for the NSDA’s own national tournament, which will take place across an entire week in mid-June and is expected to be held in Louisville, Kentucky. Only six Yarmouth students will be able to compete. Currently, five of the slots have been filled by Maddy Corson, Joshua Leinwand, Hope Cady, Georgia Herr, and Sebastien Martínez, with one spot remaining to be doled out. Wish ‘em luck!
