This collection of pages is my attempt to gather and preserve information about the history of high school debate in Minnesota. Currently, I am trying to collect the results of as many Minnesota high school debate tournaments as possible. I am not limiting the information here to only tournaments held in Minnesota, so information on past tournaments in which Minnesota teams participated, such as the Watertown Speech Fiesta or Eau Claire Memorial, is welcome.
The Edie Holiday Tournament (Blake)
The W.E. Lillo Tournament (Concordia)
Little Nationals (South Saint Paul)
