The last two weeks have been busy busy busy for the Lafayette squad! We split our squad up and the debate squad travelled to the Pi Kappa Delta national tournament at Ohio University. We were in Athens for almost a week and had 5 preliminary rounds of debate. The other half of the squad went to the National Speech Competition at Bradley University! NSC and PKD are two very special tournaments and our squads had a lot of fun at both of them. Results and photos from these two national tournaments are below!
