Patrick Henry College Wins First and Second Place in the Nation in Collegiate Civic Debate Purcellville, VA, May 12, 2021 (PR.com) Patrick Henry College students shut out the competition, including several Ivy League institutions, to bring home both the gold and silver in a national collegiate civic debate competition.
Patrick Henry College (PHC) underclassmen, Calvin Huh and Nicholas Storz, won the Lafayette Debates U.S. National Championship, and Noah Farley and Emma Shipe finished in second place.
This championship is one of two outstanding national-level performances in the same season. PHC’s national win in Civic Debate comes only a week after PHC s Mock Trial Teams placed third and thirteenth overall at the AMTA’s Mock Trial National Tournament - the best PHC season ever in Mock Trial.
