It was a wild ride for the Brookfield East debate team at this past weekend's Wisconsin State finals. Junior, Namitha Alexander, retains the crown of Lincoln-Douglas (LD) state champion winning in the finals for a second year in a row.This marks the team's 7 time in the last 9 years that we've had a state champion.
Other great performances on the team include: (LDers) Rafael Li - semifinalist; Arjun Shreekumar, Shloka Nambiar - quarterfinalists; Evan Clark, Simran Khunger - octofinalists and (PFers) Bera Demirbilek & Vivek Srivastava octafinalists.
Congratulations to the other team members who qualified for state this year including (LDers) Xander Ge, Navya Tarikere, Katrina Li, Langston Ford, Viktor Sakman in LD and (PFers) Billy Huang & Tanay Gummadi. The State Champion victory was especially gratifying for new head coach, Justin Flynn. Flynn said, "I inherited a great program from former head coach, Steve Sexton. These are such great kids and it's been so satisfying to be able to continue the success of the Brookfield East Debate program." Flynn is assisted by coach, Michael Maier.
