Newtown Invitational Promotes Connecticut LD Debate

Posted by Jon Cruz in the Community, Results: LD Debate (2005-06) category

NEWTON, CT – Today, I was honored to be a part of the first annual Newtown Invitational Debate Tournament. While Connecticut’s Yale Invitational draws hundreds of debaters from across America, there has been no local presence of Lincoln-Douglas debate in the Constitution State for years. Coach Larry Saladin and the members of the Newtown Debate Team sought to change that, and founded what is sure to be the first tournament of a new Connecticut LD circuit.
