On December 10th, ISU’s Rupp Debate Team took
high honors at a Climb! Online Debate Tournament. Kaden Marchetti represented
the ISU team, with other members in busy prep for Finals Week beginning the
next day. Topics ranged from the death penalty to discussion of nuclear codes,
and spanned three qualifying rounds.
ISU’s Marchetti was successful in the
tournament’s open division. A seasoned veteran, Kaden made it to the semi-final
where he affirmed that “The
US should require two years of national service [by] Americans”. While he
didn’t break to finals, Kaden tied for third place overall and was recognized
as 5th best in top-speakers at the tournament!
