November 2012

November featured two middle school SCJFL league tournaments, one for individual events and one for debate.  Kudos brought a small team to the SCJFL Fall Speech Tournament, held at Jefferson Middle School in San Gabriel.  Here, Jessica Lin earned 4th place in a large field of Impromptu Speaking competitors, while Phoebe Wang took 4th in Expository Speaking.

A few days later, the SCJFL Fall Debate Tournament was held at Ridgecrest Intermediate School in Rancho Palos Verdes.  We knew going in that this would be a battle, as the SCJFL is objectively one of the strongest middle school debate leagues in the country.  Our debaters acquitted themselves admirably, and emerged with numerous awards.

In Public Forum Debate, Jerry Wang and Kirk Wu earned 3rd place, while Kylin http://voicecouncil.com/?tags=/buy-cialis-generic.php Feng and Victor Luo brought home 7th.  We also achieved 3 of the top 4 spots in Lincoln-Douglas debate, when Stanley Yu took the championship, Victor Qin won 2nd, and Jonathon Liu accomplished 4th.
