J.P. Gooderham Wins Perspectives Round Robin
PHILADELPHIA, Penn. — The Perspectives Round Robin has come to a close. Entering the final round were Scarsdale High School’s Nikita Lalwani (who had accumulated twelve ballots) and Upper St. Clair High School’s J.P. Gooderham (who has collected ten). On a 3-2 decision — with Alexander McCobin, Lilly Deng, and Jon Kwan making up the majority, and Katie Poulos and Tom Pryor dissenting — J.P. defeated Nikita. Congratulations to both debaters!
Now that the round robin has concluded, the participants — who each made a donation to Perspectives Debate, Inc. as a registration fee — will be helping out at a tournament for Perspectives’ students directly after the round robin.
J.P. is coached by Rich Platts and Ali Huberlie; Nikita is coached by Joe Vaughan and Chetan Hertzig.

I just wanted to take a second to say a quick thank you to everyone who made the Perspectives Round Robin possible. First, to the competitors, who were wonderful participants, but also great sports about judging the Saturday tournament. Second, to the judges, particularly Jacob Levi, Sean Mumper, Alex Weintraub, Jon Kwan, and Tom Pryor, all of whom judged for free on Friday as a way to give back to debate.
But perhaps most importantly, thanks to my friends and Perspectives partners in crime: Lilly Deng, Alexander McCobin, Katie Poulos, Alex Anderson, Alok Choksi and Ben Grunwald–none of this, from the round robin, to the tournament, to even having students or Perspectives to begin with, would be possible without all of you.
Thanks to everyone who made this event possible and, of course, congratulations to Nikita and JP!

Thanks to Ali and Perspectives for organizing a very competitive and fun round robin.
I am certainly glad I had the opportunity to participate, especially for the opportunity to judge at Perspectives’ Voices tournament on Saturday, which was a superb event for Perspectives students.
Thanks to all who were involved.

JP has been totally kicking butt. I think he’ll break at the TOC.
