Rahul debated for 3 years at Lincoln-Sudbury where he served as a PF Debate Captain and earned 6 bids to the TOC. He qualified to NSDA Nationals in his junior year. His competitive highlights include championing Stanford, quarterfinaling Glenbrooks, and being an invitee to both the Ivy Street Round Robin and the Harvard Round Robin. He mostly ran policy positions throughout his career, but was also a strong lay debater and well-versed in Phil and K debate.
