I love Erik Legried.

JRob is a warrior.

Seber is good too.

Also congrats to Seber on finally getting the bid and getting to quarters!

A few congratulations are in order:
Seber- Congrats on quarters. I really enjoyed debating you in doubles.
Lassus- Good job getting the bid. Atta way to rep H-town.
Graham- Congrats on continuing an already impressive senior year. Keep it up.
Jordan and Nate- Atta way to be a couple ballers, as usual
Catherine-Congrats on the win. Very impressive.
Whitman- No surprise here. Good job on all the breaks.

Of course, congrats to Jrob! You told us before the tournament that you didn’t feel confident at all, yet you arrive in finals regardless. I’m continually impressed and I’m proud to have you as a teammate.

On a side note, congrats to Sarah Holley (semis) and Robbie Dillard (4-2) in JV LD. Atta way to rep Northland. The circuit should be looking out for these two… they’re out for blood. ;)

Congrats to Sasha and Lassus for bids.

Congrats to Cory for breaking. Shawn, after two tough endings in a row, congrats on finally breaking, too bad you were side locked I’m sure you’ll complete the qual soon.

Finally, congrats to Nick on the crabapple. I feel your pain. You’ll bid at Glenbrooks

Congrats to Catherine for making it look easy, Eric for making debate entertaining, anyone I hung out with outside of rounds for making this activity worthwhile, Patrick Diehl for eloquently communicating his RFD in the doubles round that I judged with him, Anna Lyons for picking up my novice debater’s award, Jake Gelfand for making it out to cover Edina’s judging obligation, the Edina team for being the best scatagory players I know, and everyone else for being.

Also, special congrats to all the parents and anyone who had a hand in keeping the judges lounge full of (free) food. Much appreciated!

Last, this tournament was near-perfect, despite the unnecessarily frustratingly long judge selection process for doubles. The only improvement I can think of is if the tournament gave an award to the “most preferred critic,” which is totes possible given that MJPs are used.

Thanks for not being “crabby” and having a great attitude.

Admittedly, having your crabapple complimented by Dog the Bounty Hunter in Denver Airport might dwarf my message.

Additionally, great work to Thurm. Your consistency this season has been truly impressive.

Oh, and congrats to Graham too :c)

We had to send a smaller squad than usual this time around due to some school conflicts, but should be back to sending our usual large group next year. Many thanks to Team Apple Valley for being so accommodating as our entry shifted. Pam Cady Wycoff puts on a great show and we love attending!

Also, props to Jane Kessner for being Top Speaker in VLD and to Nathalia Cibotti for winning JV LD!

And, as always, thanks so much to Ms. Wycoff, the Apple Valley staff and Apple Valley parents for their hospitality and really wonderful tournament!

also congrats to:
Erik – proving your worth of being on team swagnificent,
Josh – finals yet again, way to be a baller
Nick Lassus – nice job qualling buddy, i’m proud of you
Cory Wynn – you’ll get that 2nd bid somewhere one of these days
Ilya – nice job qualling
Jordan – you’re a baller, you never cease to impress me when i watch your rounds, keep it up
Nate – i guess we’re friends? haha, keep winning bud, you’re doin awesome this year
and finally, Catherine – way to go!! yet another title under your belt and we’re only two months in! youre a great debater and an awesome person, congrats!!

and congrats to everyone else!

:)

Congrats as well to the Eagan guys… You all worked hard. And especially our JVers and Novices. You guys did quite well for yourselves and you should all be proud.

Finally, thanks to Beena, Cherian, Colin, and everyone else working tab for making this tournament run as smooth as possible and for hosting it! Can’t wait till next year.
