AMAZheng siblings want to debate at Harvard

AMAZheng siblings want to debate at Harvard
Contributed photo State Cross-Exam Kyle and Tiffany Zheng smile big after their first place win at the District Meet for UIL Cross-Examination. The siblings will compete at the State Meet in the middle of March. Their ultimate goal is to compete at the Harvard National Speech and Debate Tournament in Cambridge, Massachusetts next year, and are looking for benefactors to help get them there.

The 2025 UIL State Cross-Examination topic was released in June of 2024 and reads as such: “The United States federal government should significantly strengthen its protection of domestic intellectual property rights in copyrights, patents, and/or trademarks.”

The topic reads as more than a mouthful, and it will be debated, deconstructed and cross-examined over and over again by 64 teams within each classification (1A to 6A) at the University of Texas at Austin from March 17 to 22.

Juniors and siblings Kyle and Tiffany Zheng are representing Edna at the UIL Cross-Examination State Meet after placing first in February at the Boling District Meet, and they are ready to compete, armed with tons of intellect, mental stamina, and arguments.
