One-hundred, fifty-five students from forty-five schools and five states attended the USC Damus Spring Trojan Championships at USC this past weekend.

Thirteen Kudos students were among them—most were middle school students competing in fields of nearly exclusively high school students.

Despite this, Kudos students managed to earn recognition.

In junior varsity Lincoln-Douglas debate, Ethan Chang reached the semifinal round (top 4), and Raymond Mo reached the partial quarterfinal round (top 5). Five other Kudos students finished with three wins or more.

In varsity policy debate, Caleb Lee was ninth place speaker and Eric Gao was tenth place speaker, in a very competitive field.
