After over 18 months of COVID-related disruptions, the Seawolf debaters proved they had not lost their edge. The students competed in 5 tournaments this semester, 4 online and one in-person event. They posted finals showing in 4 of those tournaments and won the Carroll College tournament (which had 68 teams competing) outright. Their performance resulted in two of the Seawolf tw0-person teams ranked in the top 5 teams conference-wide; as a squad the Seawolf debaters were ranked 2nd overall.
