Cranbrook Debaters Soar in Two Time Zones!

Upper School students Alex Wang and Ori Shi flew to Salt Lake City to compete in the Alta Silver Black National Debate Tournament. Alex and Ori made it to the finals and finished second place in the tournament.  Ori also earned second speaker and Alex eighth speaker.
