This past weekend members of the Walla Walla High School Debate team traveled to Tacoma to compete in the State Debate Tournament. Wa-Hi had its strongest showing ever at the tournament, placing 4th overall as a team in Lincoln-Douglas debate, according to Coach Jean Tobin.
“Malcolm Gabbard tied for 3rd, losing in semi-finals to a debater from Gonzaga Prep who ultimately won the tournament and Russell Skorina placed 11th in the State in Congressional Debate,” said Tobin. “These are the highest rankings Wa-Hi students have ever received in those events!”
