In Policy Debate, GDS had one team and went 2-5 and obviously did not advance to elimination rounds. Meaning no local schools broke. Thomas Jefferson was not even at the TOC. So much for you resurgence thesis by OP.
In Gold Public Forum (the harder tournament to enter). Walt Whitman team lost in Finals on an upset. Two other Whitman teams were 3-4 in Gold.
In Silver Public Forum, lot of local presence. Whitman had two teams entered and one advanced to elimination rounds with a 5-2 record. Churchill had one team and one advanced with a 5-2 Record. Potomac School had three teams in Silver and one team advanced with a 5-2 record. One of the Potomac teams that did not advance, nonetheless had the Top Speaker in the whole Silver Division.
In Extemp Speech, Potomac had the 8th and 9th finishers. In Original Oratory, GDS and Potomac had entries that did not place at all.
As an observer, I think Whitman in Public Forum is the only resurgence though Potomac did well as well.
