Naz El-Khatib & Claire Kairys from North Allegheny (PA) defeated Charles Giardina & Jonathan Yip from The Collegiate School (NY) on a 4-3 decision to win the Public Forum Debate division at the 2008 Tournament of Champions in Lexington, KY.

Complete results below via Victory Briefs Daily.

Two things:

1. I’m assuming that KK advanced over the other North Allegheny team, Greg Vose & Vicky Lopez, without a debate.
2. If the finalists have photos, especially with the TOC trophies, we would love to post them.
