Wheaton College student Isaac Hendren of San Diego, California, is a member of the Wheaton College Mock Trial team, which qualified for the National Championship Tournament after placing sixth at the American Mock Trial Association's Opening Round Championship Series in St. Charles, Illinois. This is the fifth time in six years that a Wheaton team has qualified for the National Championship.

The team posted a record of six wins and two losses at the Opening Round Series. Northwestern University, Washington University in St. Louis, University of Chicago, Indiana University, and University of Minnesota will also advance to the National Championship.

The National Championship Tournament will be held April 20-22 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 48 teams will compete at the tournament, selected from more than 700 teams nationwide.

Attorney coach Brooks Locke '98 is confident in the team's abilities and looks forward to the opportunity to showcase their skills at the National Championship.

"Wheaton has established a reputation in the wider mock trial community for quality and professionalism, and the students have represented Wheaton College and Christ extremely well to their peers across the country," Locke says.
