Bethany Christian hosted a debate tournament on Saturday, October 19, entertaining schools from as far away as Munster, Fishers, Kokomo, and Chesterton. All Bethany debaters placed in competitive events.
Leading the way was junior Elena Unzicker, champion on the day in novice Lincoln Douglas debate in her first effort at the event, while Junior Evan Gutierrez was eighth on the varsity side. Junior Eviella Sefu and senior Sofia Johar took sixth in varsity public forum debate as juniors Jennifer Rios and Luna Calderon placed sixth on the novice PF side. In Congress, siblings Amari and Desmond Lind nabbed seventh and eighth, respectively, in their novice chambers.
Desmond Lind earned his first National Forensic League degree, Merit, for his efforts on the day.
The team next competes at Concord on 9 November.
