huge congrats to muthu. you have come so far as a debater in the last 2 years, and you have more than earned this bid. even if you couldn’t make it out to st. mark’s or another bid tournament, a loss to jake nebel in the bid round at greenhill, coupled with this fantastic performance, is more than worthy of an at large.
ben, congrats on semis apperances at the last two TOC tournaments you’ve been to
becca, of course you deserve major congrats for all the success you’ve had this year. you’ve more than earned it, and yeah.
also big congrats to both the strake jesuit and dulles squads. john and yim clearing 4 debaters as far as quarters, in addition to the strake squad having such a strong presence all the way to the bid round.
also, congrats to andrew cockroft on a perfect cartwheel. and breaking, i guess.

Congratulations to Becca and Muthu! Becca seems more than poised to continue a serious streak of success and have a seriously dominant senior year.
I want to echo the congratulations to Muthu on a very well-earned bid. I’ve had the pleasure of judging him a number of times and hosting him last year at Vassar and I am so happy to learn of his success at this most competitive of tournaments. Great job!

Great job to Dulles and their coaching staff, I expect great things
To Ben Clancy, you are way good
To Muthu, nice job on the bid, I’d be lying if I didn’t say I expected it
And to Becca…no surprise here, she owns

Excellent tournament, guys. Plaudits to Muthu for his well-earned bid, Becca for her amazing 30+ argument spreads, Greg and Cockroft for doing well, and “The Race” and “The Donnati” for some amazing rounds. Oh, and Harry Yu for judging.
