PHC Mock Trial team brings home second place at Penn State's Happy Valley Invitational
Three of our mock trial teams—the Navy, Blue, and Gold—recently competed in several invitational tournaments, with one team winning second place!
Our Navy team (coached by Kyle Ziemnick) competed at Penn State's Happy Valley Invitational two weekends ago. The team finished with a 6-2 record, earning second place. Junior Andrew Bleiler also earned recognition as an Outstanding Attorney on the defense side of their case. Great job, Navy team!
Two more mock trial teams, the Gold and Blue teams, traveled to Williamsburg last weekend for the Colonial Classic Invitational tournament. Both teams overcame quite a variety of challenging circumstances during the weekend, and both teams competed with excellence.
The Blue team (coached by Director Sue Johnson) finished with a 7-0-1 record, not losing a single ballot and earning recognition as the Champion! While the final record for the Gold team (coached by Cooper Millhouse) was 4-4, they learned a great deal through the experience and are more prepared now to thrive in regional competition. Kudos to both teams, and to individual award winners: Benjamin Oyer (Blue team, outstanding attorney award); Sarah Crosby (Blue team, outstanding witness award), and Sarah Fox (Gold team, outstanding attorney award). Well done, teams!
