Great start to the season for the Lane Debate League at CHS. 3 teams competed in policy:
Thurston PV Edie Powell and Maggie Vanwey-Wells
Thurston DS Austin Dillon and Aaron Smart
Thurston VV Katherine and Francisco Velazquez
All 6 were attending their first debate tournament EVER. Their hard work really showed:
Thurston VV - 2nd place, Novice Policy
Austin Dillon - 3rd speaker (and self-proclaimed debate fanatic)
Aaron Smart - 4th speaker
Katherine Velazquez - 5th speaker
The coaches received positive comments about every single team member, and everyone contributed to the team's success! People were floored to see Thurston, a school that has never competed in debate, perform so well. You did us real proud.
