The new 2009-2010 Extemp Central National Points Race and National Teams Points Race standings have been updated. To access them, click on the “Nat’l Points Race” tab at the top of the page.
We have a new leader in the standings: Aaron Lutkowitz of Montgomery Bell Academy in Tennessee, fresh off of his victory at Yale. Lutkowitz has also powered MBA into the top spot in the team points race. From all indications, he plans to attend St. Mark’s so he will be looking to add to his lead at that tournament.
The next major tournament in the National Points Race: The St. Mark’s Heart of Texas Invitational. It will be a fifth tier tournament, awarding 40 points to the best performing extemper in the U.S. and IX portions combined.
