As a captain and a senior member of the Prior Lake High School Mock Trial Team since my freshman year, I am so proud of how the PLHS Mock Trial team has performed so far. With new coaches and new team members, it took intensive work, stress, and last-minute preparations to be ready.  The hard work paid off! At our first tournament of the season (Friday December 9th, 2016 and Saturday December 10th, 2016), our varsity team received 5th overall and our novice teams placed 1st and 3rd in their section. From my experience in mock trial the past four years, this year was the first year I’ve seen so many individuals on our team win “best lawyer” or “best witness” awards. I am very proud to be part of the success and see everyone doing so well
