DEBATE TEAM KEEPS EYE ON PRIZE, CLAIMS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
|
Posted By: How May I Help You NC on May 04, 2016 the Melvin B. Tolson/Denzel Washington Forensics Society, also known as the Great Debaters of Wiley College, has won the Overall Sweepstakes Championship and Individual Events Sweepstakes Championship at the 103rd Pi Kappa Delta NationalComprehensive Tournament, which was held March 16-20 at the University of Kentucky inLexington, Kentucky. Wiley's team competed against 86 schools with a total of 2,400 entries to emerge as champions. The team arrived at the tournament as the 2014 Overall Sweepstakes Champions and now has twice claimed this national title. Similarly to the humility these achievers displayed after their first win in 2014, the team and its debate coach, Christopher Medina, paid homage to Dr. MelvinB. Tolson( the highly regarded English professor and debate coach) and his Wiley College debaters of the early 1900s, who despite having traveled the country competing in debates and compiling an almost perfect record of winning, were not allowed to compete in the prestigous Pi Kappa Delta Tournament.
