Speech and Debate Shine at Patriot Games
This year's George Mason University Patriot Games Speech and Debate tournament was an excellent event for Potomac’s speech and debate team. The event featured students from 14 states. Potomac claimed third place in team sweeps. The team was led by Meredith Vorndran '25, who placed fourth in individual sweeps, and Alex Bauer '25, who placed tenth overall. His efforts were backed by several final-round appearances by the team, including three final rounds by Vorndran. Taylor Burris '24 also finished the tournament strongly with two final rounds. Potomac dominated in congressional debate, extemporaneous speaking, and impromptu speaking. A list of the final results can be found here. Congrats to all!
