The Brooks Academy attended the 2013 Warrior Invitational hosted by Ygnacio Valley HS in Concord, CA on Sunday 12/15/13. We fielded an entry of 23 students in both speech and debate events. After 3 rounds of speech and 6 rounds of debate spanning 12 hours of competition, top three finishers in each event were awarded 3rd Place Bronze, 2nd Place Silver, and 1st Place Gold for their efforts.
At the end of the tournament, our students swept all 1st Place Golds in Novice division events.

Special congratulations to Arian, Eva, and Lavanya for their multiple Top 3 finishes- especially to Arian, who took home a full Bronze, Silver, and Gold set for Impromptu, Parli, & Extemp respectively.
And last buy not least, a very well-deserved shout out and thank you this holiday season to all of our coaches, alumni, and friends who came out to judge this weekend and support our students through this whole first semester of 2013-14. We couldn't have had this much success if it weren't for all of you.
