Team wins at UPenn

West Point wins in the city of brotherly love.

The West Point Model United Nations team made a clean sweep of its fall season with a "Best Delegation" victory at the University of Pennsylvania this weekend in Philadelphia.

This victory follows the team's win at Oxford two weeks ago and its win at Georgetown in early October. The 16 cadet delegation was competing against over 1,300 students from 83 universities. This was also a victory over teams from Navy, Air Force, and the Coast Guard Academy; not a single delegate from the other academies won a committee award. A photo of the team with the victory trophy in front of Independence Hall is shown below:
