Oak Hill School Debaters Qualify for Tournament of Champions in Lexington, Kentucky

Two Oak Hill School (Eugene, OR) debaters have now qualified for the annual Tournament of Champions (TOC), which will be held at the University of Kentucky in mid-April 2020.

With a runner-up finish in Policy Debate at the Jean Ward Invitational (Lewis & Clark College, Portland) on January 19, Oak Hill School seniors Katrina Carrier and Daisy Hagen earned their second – and thus qualifying – bid to the TOC. They had earned their first bid at the St. George’s School debate tournament in Spokane, WA, in December 2019, where they finished as co-champions. 

The TOC is one of the two most prestigious end-of-season tournaments in high school debate, bringing together an elite field of competitors. To earn an invitation, debaters must earn two ‘bids’ by finishing at or near the top at any of several designated qualifying tournaments held across the country from early-September 2019 through early-March 2020.
