Trinity Mock Trial Back-to-Back Wins

What an incredible couple recent weekends for Trinity Mock Trial!

Bruno Invitational

For the very first time, our team competed in an international mock trial tournament hosted through Brown University—and we walked in with zero scrimmages, no prior experience with this tournament, and no idea quite what to expect.

But what these students did have was months of hard work, preparation, and determination.

Since summer, they have been pouring themselves into this case—analyzing evidence, developing arguments, memorizing the Federal Rules of Evidence, practicing examinations. We brought first-time attorneys, first-time witnesses, seasoned veterans, and students at every stage in between. Every single one of them rose to the occasion! And while their performance in the courtroom was exceptional, what made us most proud was how they represented Christ throughout the weekend. We prayed together. We worshiped together. We encouraged one another. And through it all, these students were intentional about giving the glory to the Lord.

There is another part of this weekend's story that deserves special recognition...

When several teams didn't show up, our students who weren't competing stepped in to participate in bye-buster rounds so other teams would still have someone to compete against. And these kids were AMAZING!

They took on as many as THREE different witness characters in a single round, wrote closing arguments in the middle of trials, impeached witnesses they hadn't even prepared to cross-examine, and tackled every unexpected challenge with incredible flexibility, enthusiasm, and grace. They sacrificed their breaks, worked tirelessly, and did it all simply to serve the tournament and help other students have the opportunity to compete. And here's the incredible part: Had their rounds been officially ranked, they would have finished SECOND in the tournament!

These students weren't competing for a trophy. They were simply stepping up where they were needed. What an extraordinary example of servant leadership!

We also want to recognize our students who received individual honors:

Top Attorney Awards:

• Adele

• Brian

• Caleb

• Lexi

Top Witness Awards:

• Avery

• Nathan

To say that our coaching staff is proud would be an understatement. We have watched these students work, struggle, persevere, grow, encourage one another, and rise to challenges that would intimidate many adults.

But beyond the trophies and individual awards, we are most grateful for the character they displayed, the way they served others, and the joy with which they represented their school and their Savior.

What a weekend. What a team. What a blessing. Thank you for praying and cheering us on.

Please join us in giving a HUGE virtual round of applause to your…

CLOVIS WEST INVITATIONAL

Thirteen of our students traveled to Fresno to compete in the inaugural Clovis West Mock Trial Invitational, facing teams from eight schools across California, many of which regularly advance to the State Finals. We are thrilled to share that Trinity took home FIRST PLACE! With only three weeks to prepare an entirely new case immediately after the Bruno invitational, these kids rose to the challenge!

Trinity also captured some individual awards:

• Landen Thiesen: Top Witness

• Avery Foreman: Top Witness

• Brian Staub: Top Attorney

• Lexi Rowlett: Top Attorney

We are so incredibly proud of these thirteen students! Above all, we give thanks and glory to God for the gifts He has given these students and the opportunity to use them so well.
