To avoid double counting at St. Mark’s, Extemp Central awarded points to extempers based on their finish in both the IX and USX
portions of the tournament. The top six extempers based on points accumulated would be ranked first through sixth and they would receive the fifth tier points for the National Points Race.
Here are the top six finishers at St. Mark’s and the points they will receive in the National Points Race. Sam Scott and Shahid Ahmed of Plano Senior High School received the same amount of points based on their combined finishes and had the second and third tier points split between them because of the tie.
1st: Dillon Huff (Southlake Carroll High School, Texas)—40 pts.
T2nd: Sam Scott (Plano Senior High School, Texas)—32.5 pts.
T2nd: Shahid Ahmed (Plano Senior High School, Texas)—32.5 pts.
4th: Haydn Forrest (L.C. Anderson High School, Texas)—15 pts.
5th: Mirza Germovic (Des Moines Roosevelt High School, Iowa)—12 pts.
6th: Shikha Garg (Plano Senior High School, Texas)—10 pts.
The Extemp Central National Points Race will be adjusted to accompany these changes within the next few days.
