Wellesley (4/16 - 4/17)

Jesse Victoroff and Connie Lee broke to varsity semifinals and placed 4th overall! This earned them an additional 6 qual points to bring them to a total of 18.25 points each, right over the 14-point threshold to qualify for APDA Nationals. Jesse and Connie are the first debaters from Dartmouth to qualify for Nationals since 2012. Additionally, since Wellesley was the last regular season tournament of the year before Nationals, their result at this tournament allowed them to secure 32nd Team of the Year and for Dartmouth to secure 20th College of the Year for 2016-2017. Congratulations to everyone for contributing to Dartmouth's most successful year in a long time!
