Kanishk Vankayala and Taha Amir
For our first student spotlight of the season, we decided to highlight the hard work of two skilled debaters, Kanishk Vankayala and Taha Amir. The two won a silver bid to TOC as octofinalists in Public Forum at this year's James Logan Invitational and qualified to NCFL in Public Forum, showing that their hard work at practices has really been paying off. Their determination is certainly something to look up to, and we wish both of them greater success going forth!
