2012 National Competition
The Breck Mock Trial Team captured third place at the 2012 National High School Mock Trial championships. Forty-six teams from 42 different states (2 teams from New Mexico), plus Guam, South Korea, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, competed in the two-day tournament. Breck beat teams from Alaska, Kentucky, California, and Idaho. Despite just missing the finals by one ballot, Breck was the only team at the tournament to have an undefeated season!
One member of their team was named an All-American Outstanding Witness; a distinction awarded to only the top 5% of witnesses in the tournament.
