What a weekend for SMU debate! 🥳
We sent 5 debaters, and 1 judge and had 2 SMU org comm members. Isaac and Makar, Sam and Salim, and Ai-Li and Lucas (hybrid team) all had fantastic rounds of debate; Isaac and Makar, “SMU masters”, broke to finals and Isaac won “best second open speaker” for his performance!
Jesslyn was an amazing judge this weekend and panelled 5 rounds at her first tornament!
Jessica was the co-equity officer for East Novices and Soren (not pictured) worked behind the scenes for tabs, ensuring the tournament ran smoothly!!
