"We played against such great teams in the Michigan tournament that we are honored to represent the Mock Trial community of our state. We are lucky to have fantastic volunteer coaches, supportive families with the ability to help, and excellent team managers. I am always grateful for all of the people who make it possible for me to do it, and the amazing students who make it worth it." - Chloë Root (coach)

Good luck to Community High School from Ann Arbor as they represent Michigan at the National High School Mock Trial Championship!
