LAWRENCE The University of Kansas has qualified a third team for the National Debate Tournament later this month.
Mickey McMahon, a sophomore from Leawood, and Michael Scott, a sophomore from Glenview, Illinois, have received an at-large qualification for the NDT. KU is one of only six schools to qualify three teams to the national tournament. The other five schools are Dartmouth College, Emory University, Michigan State University, the University of Michigan and Wake Forest University.
This is the sixth consecutive year that KU has qualified three teams for the NDT.
McMahon and Scott qualified for the NDT based on an excellent performance in the regular season, which ended with the duo ranked in the top 25 teams in the country. It is the second time that they have qualified for the National Debate Tournament. They were unable to compete at the NDT as freshmen when the tournament was canceled due to COVID-19.
