Tag: 2010 Catholic Forensic League nationals extemp results

Thanks to Andy Charrier of Lakeville South High School we’ve acquired the results for the top six at the 2010 Catholic Forensic League (CFL) Grand National tournament that was held in Omaha, Nebraska last week.  As we initially reported, Dylan Slinger of Lakeville South High School in Minnesota captured the title over James Mohan of Danville High School in Kentucky.  This was the third time in six years that a Minnesota extemper has won the CFL national championship.  Since Slinger is a junior, he will have an opportunity next year to become the first extemper to repeat as CFL national champion since Jason Lear did it in 2000 and 2001. He will also have the opportunity to become the third extemper to win both CFL and NFL National championships in the same year, which Kevin Troy and Akshar Rambachan, the last two Minnesota extempers to win CFL, accomplished in 2005 and 2007.

Here were the final results:

CFL National Champion:  Dylan Slinger (Lakeville South High School, Minnesota)
2nd: James Mohan (Danville High School, Kentucky)
3rd: Michael Barton (Regis High School, New York)
4th: Mirza Germovic (Des Moines Roosevelt High School, Iowa)
5th: Bo Lint (Suncoast Community High School, Florida)
6th: Meera Sury (Roseville Area High School, Minnesota)

After CFL posts its complete results packed, Extemp Central will be able to enter the 25 pts. for the six semi-finalists at the tournament (the two that we know of are Forrest Richardson of Savannah High School in Missouri and Emily Martin of Boone County High School in Kentucky) and update the National Points Race accordingly. Congratulations to the finalists and Extemp Central wishes them the best of luck in Kansas City.

Full results from the 2010 Catholic Forensic League Grand National tournament have not fully come in, but from what we have gathered Dylan Slinger of Lakeville South High School in Minnesota, the reigning Minnesota state champion and Extemp TOC finalist last year, has emerged victorious.  Jamie Mohan of Danville High School in Kentucky, the champion of this year’s Barkley Forum tournament and the eighth ranked extemper in the National Points Race has finished second.  Reports also indicate that Mirza Germovic of Des Moines Roosevelt High School in Iowa, who was a finalist earlier in the month at the Extemp TOC and is ranked twelfth in the National Points Race, was in the final round but his finish is unknown.
