The Glenbrooks took place this weekend in Illinois and when it was finished, Steven Elliott of Lakeville North High School in Minnesota captured the championship. He is the first Minnesotan to capture the title since Kevin Troy of Eagan High School won it in 2004. Elliott claims 100 points for himself and his school in the Extemp Central National Points Race (standings will be updated by the end of the week).
Final results can be found after the jump.
Note: Complete results for prelims & all elimination rounds can be found here:
Champion: Steven Elliot (Lakeville North High School, Minnesota)

As a side note, the round featured two NFL finalists from last year (Jacob Baker-3rd IX & Tyler Fabbri-5th USX). With his sixth place finish, Odessky becomes the first extemper this season to have secured two final round placings in National Points Race tournaments. The only previous winner of a National Points Race tournament to attend Glenbrooks was Aaron Lutkowitz of Montgomery Bell Academy. He was eliminated in the quarter-final round. Other notable finishers included Wake Forest runner-up Rohan Bhargava of Jackson High School in Ohio (semi-finalist) and Yale’s third place finisher Nathaniel Donahue of Durham Academy in North Carolina (quarter-finalist).
Extemp Central would like to say congratulations to all of the final round participants.
