Becca Traber Wins Georgetown Round Robin

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Georgetown Round Robin featured a diverse field of twelve competitors from across the country, but ultimately, in both the final round results and the speaker awards, it was a “Texas on the Potomac” tournament.

Advancing to the final round from the “Hoya” and “Saxa” pods, the Kinkaid School’s Becca Traber defeated Lindsay Dolan in the final round on a 2-1 decision to win the round robin. This second annual round robin precedes the first-ever Cherry Blossom Tournament in Lincoln-Douglas debate.
