AU Moves Up in Best Delegate Fall Rankings

From the Best Delegate website:

American University is now on the cusp of the top 5, seizing its highest fall ranking ever this semester after having notched its highest end-of-year ranking ever last year. It also upended the historical order of DC teams, topping GW for the first time. The team’s performance really took off after a top 10 finish at CMUNNY. American won the Best Small Delegation award at BarMUN, where it beat teams like GW, UPenn, and West Point. It also received the Outstanding Small Delegation award at UPMUNC, where it put in a top 5 performance that rivaled some of the best large delegations. And most notably in their hometown, American finished #1 in weighted score at NCSC — better than UChicago, FIU, UPenn, or Harvard — and likely missed out on a delegation award only because of ratio. Overall, it tied Harvard for the fifth most individual awards on the circuit. Despite losing a large senior class last year, this is American’s highest ever ranking, proving that they have created the foundation to be a strong team for years to come.

Head Delegate Zach Bontempo is especially proud of their new class and their potential:. “Over the course of the Fall semester, American University welcomed in an incredibly talented and driven freshman class, which helped to propel our team to one of its best Fall performances in club history. New members, coupled with a more intense training regimen saw improvements at every conference for our team, and led us to two delegation awards at BarMUN and UPMUNC respectively. We are incredibly proud of our new members and veterans alike, and on the heels of this success we are all greatly looking forward to a fun and competitive Spring semester.”
