With her performance at the McKendree University debate tournament on November 8, Missouri Valley College freshman Eva Agcaoili, from Willard, broke to elimination rounds with a 3-3 record and was ranked the third-best speaker at the tournament.
This now qualifies Agcaoili for the National Tournament, which is scheduled to be held in April in Whitewater, Wisconsin.
In all, five MVC students competed at the event.
This tournament ends the competitive semester for the debate and forensics team, but it will be hosting an open house/demo debate on December 9 at the MVC Student Research Symposium.
MVC students interested in joining the team are urged to contact David Bowers at bowersd@moval.edu or (660) 831-4240. You also can stop by his office located in Ferguson 223.
