This weekend was the Mock Trial Regional Competition, hosted by the University of Notre Dame. ND entered 3 teams in the tournament, and we finished 1-3 (the third consecutive year the program has done so). My team, 924 ("Team Ramrod") finished first, the only 8-0 team this weekend (also the team to finish 1st for the last three years). I recieved an "Outstanding Witness" award for my work on the defence, ending up in a huge-ass tie for 4th best witness at the tourney. My two directing attourney's recieved Outstanding Attourney awards, and Mike recieved his third Witness award, missing his third Attourney award by one point.
I'll include the full results below, I'm just excited for nationals now.
I love you!! ^ ^
