Vermont debate remained firmly in the top ten as new sweepstakes rankings were released. The NDT sweeps had Vermont in sixth, while the CEDA sweeps had Vermont as eighth. Both represented a slight fall from earlier ranking of third. The LDU just finishes a few weeks off, and has three major point tournaments coming up. Coach Jackie Massey has been boldly predicting a move up the rankings for UVM as "our best tournaments are still ahead of us!" Coach Snider added, "As is our tradition, nothing is changing just because we are in a national sweepstakes race. Our goal remains the personal growth and development of our students, and we encourage them to enter higher divisions in order to gain skills even if lower division competition would net the team more sweeps points."
