Debate team wins national championship

According to a K-State media release...

Senior Beth Mendenhall, best known for her columns in the K-State Collegian, is quite the speaker as well. Mendenhall, along with junior Derek Ziegler won the 2011 Cross-Examination Debate Association's national tournament in Binghampton, N.Y.

This the team's third national championship since 1991.

Ziegler and Mendenall defeated a team from Towson University to claim the championship.

The senior racked up two more awards at the event.

Mendenhall was also named a All-American and Academic All-American.

Next up for Mendenhall and her teammates is a trip to American Forensic Association's National Debate Tournament. The tournament will take place from march 24-28 and will be held at the University of Texas-Dallas.
