The University is the only school in its region to send two mock trial teams to the Gold Field national championship, following the teams' successful finishes in the past weekend's regional competition.
The two University mock trial teams came in fourth and fifth in the College Park tournament, guaranteeing both a spot in the most prestigious of the mock trial championships.
The teams will travel to Des Moines April 2 to compete against a national array of teams.
The University has a young mock trial program and has only once before been invited to a national tournament, Mock Trial Vice President Lauren Charneski said.
"It's very exciting for us to actually have two bids," Charneski said.
The top five teams from each region are invited to the Gold Flight tournament.
In addition to the team medals, Cherneski and Lauren Bateman earned Outstanding Attorney awards, and Mostafa Abdel Karim garnered an Outstanding Witness award.
