Congrats to all who broke!
Specifically, I want to congratulate Justin, my roommate from camp. Justin is one of the hardest-working debaters that I know. Throughout our time at VBI, Justin continually helped me finish assignments on time and become a better debater. This bid is long overdue, and I am confident that Justin will get another bid very soon.

This is Justin’s 2nd time winning USC. He won it before as a sophomore.

First off, I want to congratulate Justin on a great final round and a well deserved bid.
Also, I have to thank Blay for one of the most intense rounds I’ve had on this topic. It was a really enjoyable round, and It’s easy to see why he was top seeded.
Most importantly, I want to congratulate Dylan on getting to quarters, and Daniel and Nick on partial dubs. Any success on our individual parts is due to the way we all work together well.
Finally, I want to thank Tim Hogan and Mr. Ginger for their extensive help.
