HT SPEECH & DEBATE HAS ITS BEST SHOWING IN NATIONAL QUALIFIER TOURNAMENT
Congratulations HT Speech and Debate! The team competed in the NSDA National Qualifier District tournament, their last national qualifier of the season. This tournament was attended by students from an eight county region extending from Gainesville to Brevard and included several schools with very large nationally ranked Speech and Debate teams. Only the top 2 or 3 competitors or teams in each event were able to qualify for the NSDA national championship tournament, which is the largest academic competition in the world. In the five events Holy Trinity competed in, there were a total of 12 available qualifier spots and HT took 5 of them! This is the best showing Holy Trinity has ever had at this very difficult qualifier.
The following students qualified for NSDA Nationals:
Braxton Lanois in Lincoln-Douglas Debate. Braxton has also recently qualified for the NCFL National Championship tournament.
Brianna and Brooke Ramnath in Duo Interpretation of Literature. The Ramnath sisters have now achieved a Speech and Debate trifecta. They have qualified for all three national championships in one year: Tournament of Champions, NCFL, and NSDA. This is the very first time competitors have done so in HT and Brevard County history.
Faz Zaidi and Gabe Sanders in Public Forum Debate. This team has also recently qualified for the NCFL National Championship tournament.
Fefe Montalvo in Congressional Debate. Fefe has also recently qualified for the Tournament of Champions. He, along with Brianna and Brooke, are the very first to do so in HT and Brevard County history.
Reha Patel in Lincoln-Douglas Debate. Reha is the very first novice in HT history to qualify for NSDA Nationals.
Also competing were two of our novices:
Athena Tian in Congressional Debate who did well enough to be awarded 2nd Alternate.
Soham Shah in Congressional Debate.
Special thanks go to our parent judges, Dr. Olga Mora, Dr. Farhan Zaidi, and Mr. Gene LaNois.
Best of luck to our qualifiers as they prepare for the Tournament of Champions in April, NCFL National Championship in May, and the NSDA National Championship in June!
