Accounting major Nicholas Wallenburg and computer science major Zachary Wallenburg, members of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Speech and Debate Team, have been selected for the invite-only 2022 Alexis Elliott Memorial Round Robin for Lincoln-Douglas debate.

The annual selective debate competition features the most decorated Lincoln-Douglas debate students from the previous season.

The brothers helped the debate team win the national championship earlier this year. Both advanced to the quarterfinal round and finished with a combined record of 13-5. Zachary, a first-year student, was named the tournament’s third overall speaker, and Nick, a junior, was named the ninth overall speaker.
