Columbus Model UN Wins Best Small Delegation
This past weekend Columbus Model UN visited the University of Florida for their annual high school model UN conference: GatorMUN.
When we started out last year, this was our first competitive conference. We were still learning and we left last year with a feeling that we could do better.
A year later the improvement was demonstrable and we collected the following individual awards:
Enrique Villamil: Best Delegate (1st place)
Sven Stumbauer: Best Delegate (1st place)
Gonzalo Palenzuela: Honorable Delegate (3rd place)
James Sacher and Joseph Alonso: Outstanding Delegates (2nd place)
Along with fellow Explorers: Martin Seals, Sebastian Santana and Ben Coral, the team was able to collect enough points to achieve our first conference victory: Best Small Delegation (1st place for teams of 10 or less).
In the first year of this program, the team has collected a grand total of 19 individual awards across five conferences, and 2 team awards across the 3 conferences which track team scores. We hope to add to this tally in March when we head to FIU.
