The top thirty in International and United States Extemp have been unveiled at the 2013 NFL National Tournament.  After tomorrow, we will know who the final six contestants will be for Friday’s final rounds.

Several notable names are still alive in the tournament.  Ashesh Rambachan, last year’s International Extemp national champion, is one of the thirty in IX and he is joined by Lily Nellans, this year’s MBA, Extemp TOC, and Harvard champion, Nathan Leys, this year’s Yale and Glenbrooks champion, John Cherian, a two-time champion of the California Invitational, and Miles Saffran, the winner of this year’s Barkley Forum.  Multiple-time national finalist Allison McKibban and Dylan Adelman, a finalist at CFL Nationals this year, round out the names in the IX side of the bracket.

In United States extemp, CFL champion Gabriel Ferrante‘s hopes of becoming the fourth extemper to win CFL and NFL in the same year (and the first non-Minnesotan to do it) continue.  He is joined by Chase Harrison, this year’s Villiger champion and former Yale champion, Carolyn Evans, an MBA finalist this year, and Josh Wartel, a sixth place finisher at MBA this season.  The rest of the USX bracket is littered with other extempers who have multiple breaks at national circuit events this year and or have won state championships.

Extemp Central congratulates all those extempers who broke at this year’s NFL Nationals and wishes those competitors who will compete in quarter-finals and semi-finals the best of luck tomorrow. Check back tomorrow to see a listing of semi-finalists.
