Congratulations to the students who completed at last weekend’s MDL tournament. Students from Bradley Tech, Veritas, Nicolet, Rufus King, and Vincent High Schools competed at the tournament, hosted by West Allis Central High School.
Nicolet debaters Seth Johnson and Greg Mayzus finished at the top of the Varsity Division for the second consecutive tournament, winning first and second place speaker awards in the process. The Rufus King team of Elias Payne and Malik Anderson came in a close second place, followed by Bradley Tech’s Maceon Downer and Will Hughes and Rufus King’s Aliye Kidwell.
In the JV Division, the team of Weston Richey and Cierra Reed from Rufus King took home top honors, followed by Veritas’ Kieran Villoth and Noel Vazquez and Rufus King’s Jabari Robinson and Teressa Shaw.
The Novice Division was dominated by teams from Vincent High School, with the team of Travon Thomas and Yutunda Moore taking home first place, followed by their teammates Moriah Parker and Chris Fears, and Khadijah Williams and Lonna Henry. Travon also took home the tournament’s Character Award for his consistent and outstanding leadership, his professionalism at tournaments, and for his consistent competitive excellence (he was also top speaker in the Novice Division).
The February MDL Tournament marked the last time students will debate before the regular season-ending Milwuakee Debate League City Championships, which will be held March 23-24 at Marquette University.
