Congratulations to Justin on his second USC title! Shout outs to Adam and Steven on their bid rounds! And yay to Michelle Choi, Andrew Dorr, and Eric Wu!

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.

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

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.

Congrats to Adam Aziz – FINALS! Thats awesome, man. Way to go – so proud of you!

Congrats to Maddy on semis – you deserve it.

Congrats to the rest of TMS novices and Seth on well-deserved outrounds placements.

Finally… Reed and JP deserve MASSIVE props on finally getting bids. Reed, you’ve got the first of hopefully many more bids for our lab, and JP, way to finally win a bid round. Congrats on the championship, too.
