I just want to publicly thank my coach, Nixxi Chen. without her, I wouldn’t even have broken. she was incredible throughout the day with her advice and I am now completely ready to kiss her feet and do anything she asks.

I want to congratulate Max Katz for his amazing breakout performance this weekend. Making the amazing transition from policy to LD, Max braved out the weekend, doing admirably for a first varsity LD tournament. Let’s all have a round of applause!

February 11th, 2007 20:52
Ironically, as I told him, Max was honestly one of the best persuasive, positional debaters I’ve judged all year.
