J.P. Gooderham Wins Perspectives Round Robin

PHILADELPHIA, Penn. — The Perspectives Round Robin has come to a close. Entering the final round were Scarsdale High School’s Nikita Lalwani (who had accumulated twelve ballots) and Upper St. Clair High School’s J.P. Gooderham (who has collected ten). On a 3-2 decision — with Alexander McCobin, Lilly Deng, and Jon Kwan making up the majority, and Katie Poulos and Tom Pryor dissenting — J.P. defeated Nikita. Congratulations to both debaters!

Now that the round robin has concluded, the participants — who each made a donation to Perspectives Debate, Inc. as a registration fee — will be helping out at a tournament for Perspectives’ students directly after the round robin.
