The J.W. Patterson Tournament of Champions is one of the most prestigious events in high school Speech & Debate. Hosted at the University of Kentucky, this tournament brings together the best talent from across the country. At this year’s competition, Gautam Chamarthy ’25 and Rory Liu ’26 won the Policy Debate division. This was Greenhill’s first win in Policy Debate since 2008 and was an unbelievable 25 years since our first policy win in 2000! Rory and Gautam were also the TFA State Champions in Policy Debate. The World Schools team of Sherry Zhang ’25, Aditi Vikram ’25, Jonaki Bose ’25, Saida Bidiwala ’25, and Varun Mukund ’25 won the championship in World Schools Debate as well. This was a repeat championship for the school in the World Schools division. Sarah Koshy ’26 was in the quarterfinals of Lincoln-Douglas, losing a split decision to the eventual tournament champion. Dylan Miliment ’26 reached the Double Octofinals in Lincoln-Douglas. Aaron Kuang ’26 competed in the Lincoln-Douglas Debate division, and the team of Neha Bachu ’25 and Dhiya Hemchand ’26 competed in Policy Debate. Next up for the team is the National Speech and Debate tournament in Des Moines, Iowa, in June. Good luck! |
