Wheaton Academy Mock Trial Team
The scrappy, undermanned legal Warriors from Wheaton put up a good fight in the final round against perennial powerhouse Hinsdale Central before taking home 2nd place. Having forgotten his tie, colorful and carefree senior Dom Sessa (Algonquin), was forced to borrow the coach’s as he filled in admirably by winning the first All-Tournament Witness Award of his three year career. The coach noted he even received a compliment from an opponent about his tie! Sophomore Ashley Pivaronas (Bartlett), showed she has quite a bright future by winning an All-Tournament Lawyer Award in her very first Mock Trial tournament.
Team Captain and senior Libby Baker (Wheaton) and veteran Heather Dede (Winfield) provided invaluable and strong leadership. Junior Kortney Moss (St. Charles), a newcomer to Mock Trial, and Amanda Steimle (St. Charles), the sole freshmen on the Varsity, both offered compelling testimony as key witnesses.
The Academy looks forward to having their team back at full strength as they prepare to compete in the Lake County Invitational, DuPage County and Northwest Suburban Tournaments each of the next three weekends before heading to Springfield for the March 1st Illinois State Championship.
