In June at the 2024 National Speech And Debate Association Tournament in Des Moines, Iowa, Cardinal Mooney will compete for the 59th time.
Senior Mya Colella will represent the program this year as a member of the Northern Ohio District’s World Schools Debate team. This weekend at the NSDA district tournament, she finished in the semi-final round for Lincoln Douglas Debate.
Other finalists include our senior Duo Interpretation team of Chris Wynn and DJ Patterson, and Michael McGlone in Humorous Interpretation. Patterson also qualified for the final round in Dramatic Interpretation, making him the first speaker in Cardinal Mooney’s history to achieve this feat.
The team’s co-director, Ally Cooper was also named the district’s First Year Coach Of The Year Award.
The team will now prepare for the state tournament, which starts on Feb. 29 at Wooster High School.
