2010 Season Update
Welcome back!
Harvard Debate has been having a stellar season so far this fall. With a bright crop of first-years and led by veteran seniors Eli Jacobs and Alex Parkinson, the team is having its best season in several years.
Some highlights so far:
Harvard PJ (Eli and Alex) started the season strong, taking second place to Cal-Berkeley at the Georgia State season-opener. William Karlson and first-year Will Rafey also reached the quarterfinals.
Eli and Alex continued their strong performance at the Kentucky Round Robin, where they were undefeated and took first place, the first Harvard team to do so since the 1980s. Eli and Alex were the 2nd and 4th speakers respectively.
PJ went on to an undefeated prelim performance at Northwestern, cinching the top two speaker awards, and making it to the finals. William Karlson and Gabrielle Tandet also reached the octafinals.
Stay tuned for updates from Wake Forest this weekend!
