The 2010 MBA Extemp Round Robin has concluded in Nashville, Tennessee. Dillon Huff of Southlake Carroll High School in Texas emerged victorious in the tournament for his fifth national circuit championship of the season defeating Jane Kessner of Walt Whitman High School in Maryland by a mere two ranks. Huff’s cumulative total across all ten rounds of the tournament was a 47. However, Kessner won the Exhibition Round by taking six first place ranks among the eleven student judges and going 1-1-2 from the MBA alumni panel of Jason Warren, Hunter Kendrick, and Logan Scisco. The Exhibition round was made up of questions from past NFL final rounds. As a sidenote, Huff and Kessner were the fifth and sixth place finishers in last year’s round robin.
Here are the final results:
Champion: Dillon Huff (Southlake Carroll High School, Texas)
2nd: Jane Kessner (Walt Whitman High School, Maryland)
3rd: Aaron Lutkowitz (Montgomery Bell Academy, Tennessee)
4th: Nabeel Zewail (San Marino High School, California)
5th: Gabriela Barahona (Spring High School, Texas)
6th (next out): Jacob Baker (Bellarmine College Prep, California)
All of these extempers have earned points toward the 2009-2010 National Points Race. These standings will be updated by the end of the week.
