The University of Louisville debate team were finalists in their first national tournament of the season this past weekend.
Courtney Brown and Thomas Gordon, both new to the team, ended the tournament in second place. Gordon also received recognition as the second ranked speaker in the tournament.
“I felt the tournament was a great way to identify our strengths and weaknesses as a team and with our partners,” says Gordon. “To continue to have success, we have to minimize our weaknesses while developing our strengths.”
According to the Debate Team’s Program Assistant, Mary Mudd, this was all accomplished under the tutelage of Debate Director and Coach, Tiffany Dillard.
