Harvard Debate just returned from California, where Alex Parkinson and Eli Jacobs achieved a truly outstanding performance at the two coast swing tournaments. At the USC Alan Nichols invitational, they defeated Vanderbilt in the finals for their first major tournament win of the season. At the CSUF Kathryn Classic they were undefeated in prelims, and made it to the finals, where they took second place in a closely contested round with Emory University. Moreover, Eli and Alex were the top two speakers at BOTH tournaments!
Congratulations also to Seth Bour and Brad Bolman for making it to the quarterfinals at Fullerton and the doubles at USC, and to the rest of the team for all their hard work!
