As we finish up the fall semester, UTMT wants to take a moment to reflect on the incredible season we have had. At the beginning of the invitational season, we welcomed fourteen incredible new members to our organization. From diehard high school mockers to completely new superstars, UTMT is so excited to watch these new additions to the organization grow as competitors, leaders, and advocates. We are so grateful for all the hard work, talent, and skill our new members brought with them to competition this invitational season. We also want to send a special shout-out to our five returning members who competed for the very first time in-person this fall. We hope that the journey from the zoom room to the courtroom has been filled with wonders, shenanigans, and opportunities for growth. We really appreciate the determination and flexibility all our members have shown over the past several months. Thank you to our junior and senior members who have stuck out the digital days and helped the rest of the organization make the move back to in-person. Thank you to our wonderful captains and exec members who have helped this organization and its members navigate this changing competition landscape. Each and every one of you embody the spirit of UTMT and make it the incredible thing it is.
Traveling and competing in-person again this semester has been an exciting adventure for all of our members, new and old, filled with twists and turns. From late night transmission failures and broken fire alarms to early morning Starbucks runs and field day games, this season has really been something. Thank you for sticking with us through it all.
All your late practices, scrimmages, material rewrites, and workshopping really paid off. At the close of this season with five competitions under our collective belt, UTMT has taken home nine outstanding attorney awards, five outstanding witness awards, one first-place trophy, and an honorable mention. (Special shoutouts to award winners Maryellen Wooten, Bret Berry, Bella Reed, Natalie Parisi, Evan Mukherji, Megan Engle, Denee Stewart-Freeman, and Lakin Breeden!)
We are looking forward to building on this momentum and continuing this award-winning energy in the spring! Until then, may the case changes be spicy, may your finals be bearable, and may the spirit of AMTA always be with you! Happy Holidays! Live UTMT Love UTMT.
