The Bolles School hosted an Incubate Debate tournament on October 8 on the Upper School San Jose Campus. This was the first time Bolles had hosted an Incubate competition.
Students from participating schools across the region competed in two formats – town hall and roundtable – with Cameron Gratz ’23 winning the entire competition. His teammates Anaiya Nahar ’25, Abby Bradley ’25 and Lea El Hajj ’24 made it to the semifinals and won runner-up medals in their chambers.
Bolles Speech and Debate Team Coach Marie Kervin said Sarah Anne Thomas ’25, Donovan Dow ’25 and Owen Shorland ’24 also performed well during the tournament.
Professors of economics, political history and law from the University of North Florida, Jacksonville University and Florida State University joined a diverse judging panel that included a midshipman, two judges, two attorneys and a detective from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
The next Incubate will be held at Bolles on January 6, 2023.
