UGM Wins Team, Individual Awards in ALSA Unpad 2013

UGM A (Alif Satra, Amir Abdul Aziz, Nabila Aghniarizqa

Universitas Gadjah Mada debaters created a final between themselves in the 2013 ALSA Unpad E-Challenge and swamped the top end of the individual tab. #2 UGM A (Alif Satria, Amir Abdul Aziz, Nabila Aghniarizqa) defeated schoolmates #5 UGM B (Alvine Stefan, Muhammad Fidhzariyan, Wida Wahyuni) in the final that debated on whether to relocate the capital city. Nabila Aghniarizqa also took home the best speaker award.

This is the second time in 2 months for UGM debaters to claim best team and individual prizes from a tournament. They achieved that feat in the Solo Open Debating Championship last month. Besides UGM, no other college has won more than one competition in Indonesia this year. Alif Satria, a freshman who debated for Indonesia in the 2012 World Schools Debating Championships, and Amir Abdul Aziz were also part of the SODC winning team.
