Secretary-General (equivalent to President) Kavye Vij spent countless hours along with the rest of the Secretariat training Langley’s delegates. “I think that a combined effort of club officers as well as veterans who trained our novices helped a lot with our dominant performance…especially [because] our kids knew exactly what to do, and had quite a few signature Langley strategies they were able to employ,” he said.

“Langley’s always had extremely dominant performances year to year so a start like this is a great momentum for the remainder of the year; however, there are always things to improve so our performance should really get much better though the rest of the year.”
