2/1/2020 League 3rd Debate tournament
As the year moves along, Kudos Temple City continues to perform well and participate in many tournaments across California.
On February 1st, Kudos went to SCFJL at ELAC and continued our culture of excellence and success.
The public forum teams for Kudos (Temple City and Irvine) did so well that the final rounds were cancelled because we closed out (meaning that every team in semi-finals won, making the final rounds only Kudos).
Our teams went in, did exceedingly well and had fun doing it!
On the Lincoln Douglas side of things, Kudos won 1st place amongst some high quality competition.
On Congress team, our students had a fantastic February as they prepared for twenty topics in the course of 3 weeks.
Out of the three SCJFL Congress tournaments this year, Kudos has had a whopping 39 of the possible 41 finalists, all three top Presiding Officers, and all three champions.
Andrew Huang and Uma Shukla finaled at a league tournament for the first time this season, which means they are now qualified to attend SCJFL So-Cal Championships in addition to the 19 other Kudos students who have already qualified.
Uma also won best presiding officer, and Kalen Han won his first tournament championship.
Kalen Han, Fiona Zhou, Lindsey Jiang and Kelly Lin are the only students in our League to have placed in the top 6 at multiple league tournaments this year.
Special shoutouts to Lindsey, Kelly, and Anne Chen, who are the only students in our entire League to make congress finals at all three league tournaments.
Overall, this was a great weekend for Kudos!
