This year’s Harvard Tournament (Feb 12–16, 2026 | Cambridge, MA, USA) was the largest in its history, bringing together around 5,700 competitors and 1,300 judges. Competing against the nation’s strongest debaters, Omega students rose to the challenge and delivered extraordinary results.
High school sophomores Gavin Zhao and Kevin Chen earned their Varsity TOC Bids, with both ranking Top 20 in Speaker Points — an exceptional accomplishment at the highest level of competition.
Livingston High School freshmen Jacob Heifetz and Vedant Baijal, following their Digital TOC Championship victory last December, once again earned tournament awards with outstanding speaker points, demonstrating their continued excellence on the national circuit.
Even more inspiring was the breakthrough of our younger students. Just six months after their very first debate class, our middle school students achieved remarkable success at one of the most prestigious tournaments in the world:
Heritage Middle School seventh graders Aleya Sethi and Ananya Karthik advanced to Doubles, with Aleya ranking 6th Speaker out of all middle school Public Forum competitors.
Heritage students Jason Zhang and Nakshita Gupta advanced to the elimination rounds.
Heritage students Sanika Joshi and Lucy Zhu, along with Ryka Pal and Aarushi Sharma, Spatika Prasanna and Mishka Tripathi delivered outstanding performances in their very first national tournaments.
These achievements reflect months of hard work, resilience, expert coaching, and the courage to compete on the biggest stage in high school debate, as well as the unwavering support of their families.
We are incredibly proud of every Omega student who competed and look forward to their continued success in the seasons ahead.
2026年哈佛大学邀请赛(2026年2月12日至16日 | 美国马萨诸塞州剑桥市)创下历史最大规模,共有约5,700名参赛选手和1,300名裁判齐聚一堂。面对全美最强辩手的激烈竞争,Omega学生迎难而上,取得了骄人的成绩。
高中十年级学生Gavin Zhao和Kevin Chen成功获得Varsity组别TOC(冠军赛)入围资格(TOC Bid),两人均跻身最佳辩手积分(Speaker Points)全场前20名——这是在最高水平比赛中极为杰出的成就。
Livingston High School九年级学生Jacob Heifetz和Vedant Baijal继去年12月夺得Digital TOC冠军后,本次比赛再次凭借优异的最佳辩手积分荣获赛事奖项,展现了他们在全国赛场上的持续实力。
更令人振奋的是我们年轻学生的突破。仅仅在第一次辩论课程六个月后,我们的初中学生便在这项世界最负盛名的比赛之一中取得了令人瞩目的成绩:
Heritage Middle School七年级学生Aleya Sethi和Ananya Karthik成功晋级Double Octafinals(32强淘汰赛),其中Aleya在所有初中Public Forum参赛选手中排名最佳辩手第6名。
Heritage学生Jason Zhang和Nakshita Gupta成功晋级淘汰赛阶段。
Heritage学生Sanika Joshi和Lucy Zhu,以及Ryka Pal和Aarushi Sharma、Spatika Prasanna和Mishka Tripathi,她们首次参加全国级别比赛中均表现出色。
这些成绩凝聚了数月的刻苦训练、坚韧不拔的精神、专业教练的指导,以及学生们在全美最高水平辩论舞台上勇敢拼搏的决心,同时也离不开家长们始终如一的支持。
我们为每一位参赛的Omega学生感到无比自豪,并期待他们在未来赛季中取得更加辉煌的成就。
