Stuyvesant Speech and Debate swept the NYCFL Grand National Qualifier (3/7). The tournament is the culmination of our forensics league and qualifies students for the NCFL Grand National in Washington, D.C. Our team won the tournament sweepstakes and qualified the most entries to nationals. Stuyvesant also nominated Myles Vuong who won the Sr. Raimonde Bartus, FDC Scholarship.
We appreciate the administration, Alumni Association, and Parents Association for their constant support. Thank you to Ms. Sheinman for her enduring 40+ year legacy running the team and to the parents, alumni, and students who both judged and volunteered to make this day a success. See you all in D.C!
