Volcano Vista fielded three mock trial teams at the regional tournament in Albuquerque this weekend. Our platinum team, consisting of Candance Morrison, Aubie Knell, Jane Nguyen, Lena Guidi, Hayley Stueber, Sonja Fullilove, and Erin Burkett, went 3-1 to qualify for the state tournament in March--and hopefully defend our state title! The team was also wildly successful in the individual awards categories. Taking five out of the twelve outstanding witness awards were: Lena Guidi--who received the nomination as top witness in all four of her rounds--along with Alex Lioce, Marissa Cantu, Harper Gamble, and Gay Baker. Additionally, Candace Morrison, Breanna Gonzales and Michael Sanchez all took home outstanding attorney awards. We wish the team good luck in both the upcoming University of New Mexico Invitational Tournament, and the State Tournament!
