At the University of Kentucky, first time partners Cuauhtemoc Olvera and Freshman Evan Tindle (Springfield, Missouri) placed sixth overall in Public Forum debate.  

“Our very young team at Valley has shown time and time again that they have what it takes to compete against students who are older and have more experience.  I’m so incredibly proud of all the time and effort they’ve put into succeeding this season.”
