Debate Program Recognized Among Top 5 in Nation

Debate Team members Jack Borman and Charles Zenhausern placed 2nd and 3rd, respectively, at NCFL Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky, a national championship which featured 177 Lincoln-Douglas debaters from around the country. At this tournament, the Harrison Debate Team also received the Eleanor E. Wright Award of Excellence in Debate, which recognizes the top 5 speech and debate programs nation-wide. Debate coach Mr. Hertzig earned a 3rd Diamond degree of membership in the National Speech & Debate Association's Honor Society due to the team’s outstanding performance over

the past 5 years. Senior Jessie Pein was ranked the #1 Lincoln Douglas debater in the nation, the 6th time in 12 years that a Harrison debater has earned that distinction. This year, the team was also recognized by Emory University's Barkley Forum as a Member School in recognition of sustained quality performance. At the New York State Forensic League’s state championship, Harrison was recognized as the top Lincoln-Douglas Debate team in the state of New York. Jack Gessner and Jack Borman closed out the varsity Lincoln Douglas division of the University of Kentucky’s inaugural Digital e-Championship, a national championship hosted online, and Elizabeth Nicaj was the novice Lincoln Douglas champion.
