GMU 2013

15 members of the Cary Academy Speech and Debate team ventured to our nation's capital to compete in the Patriot Games hosted by Geroge Mason University. Despite having to deal with an intense winter storm the team turned in some outstanding performances with several students advancing to the elimination rounds in their respective events. CA had four LDers advance to the elimination rounds, tied for the most of any school. Andrew Glosson and Hannah Hubbard reached the octafinal round before losing, and Puj Adusumilli and Carrie Schellenberger reached the double octafinal round. In Public Forum Debate the team of Sami Frankel and Ava Rosenbaum reached the Triple Octafinal round. Bill Peebles and Emma Ehrhardt reached the quarterfinals of Extemporaneous Speaking and Original Oratory respectively.
