Summary:
|
In June, Calista Woo competed at the 2024 National Speech and Debate Association National Tournament and took home the championship in Lincoln-Douglas Debate, as well as contributing to Mountain View ranking as a top 20 school for debate in the country. Nearly 10,000 high school students are eligible to qualify to Nationals in LD with 279 ultimately qualifying this year to the event. At the National Tournament, Calista participated in 16 rounds over 5 days in front of 60 different judges and survived 9 elimination cuts to come out on top. On the finals stage in front of 3,000 people in Iowa and more on the livestream, she took home the crown on a 12-5 decision, negating the resolution, "Resolved: In a democracy, a people ought to have the right to secede from their government."
