Hendrickson Swing
Pflugerville, TX -
The Hendrickson/Pflugerville Swing took place September 1st and 2nd of 2023.
Our kids did AMAZING at the first swing and first tournament of the year! Tournaments are my favorite part of debate because we get to spend so much time together. Thanks so much to our parents who volunteered to drive and judge at this event!! We took about 30 students to this swing tournament and competed in 10 different events!
Debate:
Our PF team of Sam and Nick went all the way to the semifinals!
Our other PF teams did well too, with both Ananya and Kaavya AND Parker and Rosemary going 3-1 in prelims. Our seniors Paul and Isaiah went 2-2.
Sam also earned the title of 3rd best speaker at the competition!!
Our World Schools team of Alex, Bryn, and Orion advanced all the way to the semifinals!
Our Congress competitors did phenomenally as well, with all four of them advancing to the semifinals! Congratulations to Colin, Emmy, Gabi, and Henry for this feat!
Three of those students advanced to the final round, and Emmy, Gabi, and Henry all placed in the top 12 of the tournament. There’s still a bit of mystery surrounding the congress results but according to the website, Henry placed 2nd in Congress!!
