Nathan Hale Defends Home Turf, Wins UDL Tournament

Nathan Hale UDL Tournament
November 22, 2003

Nathan Hale played host to the second UDL tournament of the year, and used the "home court" advantage to reclaim its place at the top of the Seattle UDL. Hale's strong class of new debaters set the pace, claiming 7 of the 10 awards given in the Novice division. This strong showing propelled Hale to win the overall team sweepstakes award, edging UDL rivals Roosevelt and Garfield.

The Seattle UDL also welcomed more new faces at the Hale tournament, with Puyallup and Blanchet making their first-ever appearance at a UDL tournament. Puyallup made their presence felt, going undefeated and winning the first-place award for Open CX debate.

Maia Williams of Nathan Hale won the top speaker award for Novice division, and Bridgette Johnson of Puyallup was the top speaker in Open.
