Last season, the Blue Team qualified for the AMTA Opening Round Champion Series, the first team at Hendrix to do so.
In January, they will compete, along with the Red Team, at an invitational tournament at the University of Missouri.
"These tournaments are great practice for when we compete at regionals in St. Louis in February," said co-captain Charlotte Thomas. "We are often the only team at these competitions that are one-hundred percent student-run, so it's really exciting that we are
on a similar competitive level with these nationally ranked teams that have ten or so coaches helping them prepare."
