2013 MBA Extemp Round Robin: Exhibition Round Participants Revealed

On January 6, 2013

In MBA Coverage

The Exhibition Round participants have been revealed at the 2013 MBA Extemp Round Robin. These five competitors represent the top five at this year’s tournament, although placings will be announced at awards. According to tournament director Adam Johnson, one rank separated first and second place and one rank separated fourth, fifth, and sixth places at this year’s tournament. This arguably makes this year’s competition one of the closest in recent memory.

The Exhibition Round will be judged by all of the competitors who did not make it into the top five. If there are ties, those will be broken by an MBA alumni panel consisting of two-time collegiate champion Jason Warren, NFL U.S. Extemp Champion Tyler Fabbri (’10), James Mohan, Aaron Lutkowitz, Shahid Ahmed, and Logan Scisco.

The Exhibition Round will begin at 2:20 p.m. CST and awards will occur shortly thereafter. We will post results very late this evening.

Here is the speaking order for the Exhibition Round:

*Miles Saffran (Trinity Preparatory School, Florida)
*Nathan Leys (Des Moines Roosevelt High School, Iowa)
*Chase Harrison (Millburn High School, New Jersey)
*Isabelle Taft (Henry W. Grady High School, Georgia)
*Lily Nellans (Des Moines Roosevelt High School, Iowa)

Extemp Central congratulates all participants on making the Exhibition Round.
