Jayme Cloninger
Jayme Cloni-grrr (like Tony the tiger) is a 1st year debater from North Carolina. By far the most dangerous member of the squad, Jayme has a black belt in karate and has taught a group called the "young dragons." Cross her at your own peril. Jayme enjoys golf, running, and breaking bricks with her bare hands.

Logan Gramzinski Logan is a sophomore from Covington, Georgia. In his first year of debate, he advanced to the elimination rounds at Vanderbilt, Wayne State, Miami of Ohio, and the prestigious Fullerton tournament. Logan enjoys golf, ultimate frisbee, and is an expert at rock-paper-scissors (he competes in online tournaments). Logan is best known, however, for his $100 ping pong paddle. We have no idea why you would ever spend this much money on a ping pong paddle. Contact information: logan16@gmail.com
The paddle in all its glory...
