Harvard 2011

[PunjAvi]

Since Harvards coming up pretty soon. Lets start making the predictions list. People to look out for? Shoe - in's for semis/finals? Thoughts on Harvard judging? OO, DI, HI, DUO, EXT, CONGRESS. Lets go!




PS. --> Who is going?

[MFL speech]

I'd expect to see Omika Jikaria from Stuyvesant in at least DI semis. Jamie Meyers from Stuyvesant also has a solid shot at semis or finals in HI.

In terms of judging, I think overall it's very strong. However, sometimes judges from the same school will be placed in the same outround...which I don't find particularly fair. But overall, great judges in my opinion!

Also Harvard judging can be a little wacky sometimes. Shoe-ins are difficult to place.

Acon! FOL has missed you.

This makes me sad that I'm not going.

[emster]

how is judging (at least for oratory) up there? based on what i've seen, i think some of the big OO hitters will be:
-Connor Manning
-Priyanka Atreya
-Rebecca DeCarlo
-Michael McBride (won St. Marks)
-Avi Jaggi (Early Bird, George Mason)
-JiLon Li (Yale)
-Andrew Levitan (Glenbrooks)

but we're missing a few of the oratory regulars (Holy Ghost Prep, Apple Valley)

I'm sure that Holy Ghost and Apple Valley have a few orators just waiting to emerge. Also I know Apple Valley had a good showing at Emory. They had a few people make Semis.
