Hannah Lewman taking 1st Place in Poetry

As a team, LOHS took 5th place overall. That was thanks to:

  • 1st Varsity Poetry – Hannah Lewman
  • 2nd Varsity After Dinner Speaking – Joel Kwartler
  • 2nd Varsity Extemporaneous – Ammas Tanveer
  • Semifinalist Varsity Parliamentary – Andrew Samuelson and Robert Xu

  • Finalist Junior Impromptu – Jackson Dyal

Speaker Awards:

  • 4th Varsity Public Forum – Shannon Fender
  • 4th Varsity Parliamentary – Chris Beltrone
  • 5th Varsity Parliamentary – Joel Kwartler

*Unfortunately, the tournament tabulation desk misrecorded a second-round win as a second-round loss, causing Joel and Chris to not break. The tournament director has apologized, and is mailing an award, but nothing can be done in terms of placement. It is impossible to determine if they could have placed higher than quarterfinalist.

Of particular note was the fact that LOHS broke 3 out of 4 of its competing Varsity Parliamentary debate teams (and, if you read the asterisk above, it should have broken them all), with the one team that didn’t break being the one including both of the parli debaters that won speaking awards. The combined record of the parli squad for this tournament was 17-3 in prelims.
