CSUB Debate scored another university first last weekend.
David Wells, CSUB debater and student, broke another record: The only CSUB student in the history of the university to qualify for the elite National Debate Tournament three years in a row.
Wells, and his younger partner Jason Giffard, defeated Chico State (twice), Santa Clara, San Francisco State, and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo to post a sufficient 5-3 record to earn the automatic invitation to the 78-team national tournament.
Wells was named the 5th best speaker of the conference tournament, resulting in a total of eight speaker awards that he earned in the 2001-2002 season.
The 56th annual NDT will be held at Southwest Missouri State University, from March 21-27.
