Building Future Leaders

one debate at a time

Roger Li and Julian Carlile, a brand-new partnership this season, have quickly made a name for themselves under the guidance of the National Debate Club. Despite being in their first year as a team, they wasted no time achieving success on the national circuit. After a solid 4-2 record at Blue Key, they advanced to elimination rounds and secured their first full bid to the Tournament of Champions (TOC). Their breakout moment came at the prestigious Katy Taylor tournament, where they not only advanced through a competitive field but also dominated eliminations, ultimately winning the tournament. This victory solidified their reputation as one of the top teams on the circuit and highlighted their ability to perform under pressure.
