On our team, we don't place the largest emphasis on collecting trophies and awards. We measure our team's success, and individual members' successes, based on our growth as speakers and ability to foster a sense of family among our team and a sense of friendship and collegiality within the larger speech and debate community. Trophies, plaques, medals, and certificates are earned based on subjective rankings in unpredictable competitions, and are never our top priority.
That being said, we are very proud of the awards that our team members do earn! Even as a volunteer-led, self-funded, extra-curricular team, we consistently perform well in an activity that has largely been dominated by programs with significantly more money, coaching staff, and resources than programs like ours.
