RHS mock trail team returns to state
RHS is one of 12 regional champions competing in the tournament. The others are Shorewood, Brookfield Academy, Stratford, La Crosse Central, Appleton Xavier, River Valley, Lodi, Middleton, Bay Port, Superior and Franklin.
For the first time this year, all of the second-place finishers in the regional tournament will also be competing in the state tournament. These teams include D.C. Everest, Whitefish Bay, Wauwatosa West, Marshfield, Melrose-Mindoro, Appleton West, River Falls, Oregon, Beaver Dam, Stoughton, Green Bay East and Christian Life.
Four rounds of semifinal competition will be held at the Dane County Courthouse on Saturday. The rounds are power-paired, pitting winners and against winners, until ultimately the top two teams in the tournament are determined. The finalists will be announced at a Mock Trial banquet on Saturday evening and they will compete for the state title in the Supreme Court Hearing Room on Sunday.
Four or the eight members of this year's RHS team are returning from last year's team, which placed second in the state tournament. They are seniors Albiona Sabani, Ellie Rickman, Sydney Schallock and Max Holperin. New to the team this year are juniors Emily McFarland and Tyler Fredrick and freshmen Carmen Ibarra and Annika Timm.
The head coach is Kathy Vick-Martini and the attorney coaches are Amy Ferguson and Judge Michael Bloom.
