Nevada Union High School debate partners Evelyn Grandfield and Jackson Witt, a senior and junior respectively, are the fourth-ever team from their school to qualify to compete in the Tournament of Champions.
Qualifying for this tournament requires securing two bids each earned by completing multiple preliminary rounds and succeeding in elimination rounds in qualifying tournaments.
Grandfield and Witt earned their second bid earlier this month at a tournament hosted virtually by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, an achievement Witt said he was “super excited” about.
