Max Sun
Hi everyone! My name is Max, and I’m a rising sophmore on the Arcadia Speech and Debate Team and the ModernBrain Nationals Team. I’ve been competing in speech for 3+ years and have earned 40+ Individual Awards. In 2023, I was the Middle School Impromptu State Champion in California and got 6th place at the National Speech and Debate Association Middle School Tournament. This year I got to the semi-final round of Impromptu at the National Individual Event Tournament of Champions. I am so thrilled at the opportunity to share my experience with everyone!
