The Minnesota Debate Teacher's Association (MDTA) released their week 4 ranking for both teams and individuals. There are still a couple months left in the season, so being ranked now is no guarantee of being ranked later, but for today we can celebrate where we are at as a team. Here are the relevant snips from the MDTA results post:

Edina (16 Points) continues to hold onto the top spot and starting to
open up a slight lead on Apple Valley (14 Points) and Robbinsdale

schools to get back into the race.
