Cranbrook Debate Team Excels at State Championship

Twenty members of Cranbrook’s Varsity Debate Team had an excellent run at the 2017 MIFA Varsity Debate State Finals, which was held at Calvin College on Friday, January 6th and Saturday, January 7th.

The Michigan Interscholastic Forensic Association (MIFA) encourages middle and high school students to develop advanced communication and critical thinking skills by participating in various speech and debate activities and events. This particular championship included three Varsity debate events: Policy, Public Forum, and Legislative Debate, which were attended by the team over the course of two days.

The event yielded high honors for several debaters:
Best Speaker Overall: Justin Luo
3rd Best Speaker: Maddie Fink
8th Best Speaker: Ari King
9th Best Speaker: Grace Wang
10th Best Speaker: Sam Curran

Congratulations to all team members and coaches, and best wishes for your continued success!
