At this year’s Florida Blue Key, National Points Race leader Justin Graham of Trinity Preparatory School (FL) routed the competition, decisively winning both extemp categories. Graham cruised to an easy victory in International Extemp, picket fencing the final round and defeating Jacob Levenson of Nova Senior High School (FL) by eight ranks. In United States Extemp, Graham took four of the five available first place ranks in the final round and defeated Jacob Thompson of Des Moines Roosevelt High School (IA) by six ranks.  This was the second consecutive year that Graham won the U.S. Extemp portion of the tournament.

Despite the fact that Blue Key allows for extempers to double enter, Graham and Levenson were the only extempers to final in both categories. This made the awarding of National Points Race points less clear, but the top six extempers throughout the whole tournament will receive credit. Graham will receive forty points for the tournament, thereby allowing him to add to his National Points Race lead.
