The Congress team worked hard in preparation for the state and national qualifier tournament over the November 2-4 weekend. Team Captain Jordan Graves shares how this team prepared for the tournament. “We saw great collaboration in the different subcategories of teams for their topics. There was a lot of hard work going into being prepared for state.”

The team won both State and National Qualifiers and it’s all thanks to the wonderful competitors and their amazing coaches.
