With their fifth-place finish, McCracken, a third-year law student from Mountain Home, Ark., and Russo, a third-year student from Gainesville, Mo., missed advancing to the semifinal round of the competition by one place.

In the quarterfinals, they argued against the event's eventual champion, Baylor University, and the University of Alabama.
On top of finishing fifth overall in the 32-team field, McCracken and Russo also placed eighth in the best brief category of the event.
The UA team was coached by Professor Kim Coats, assistant clinical professor in the school's legal research and writing program. Site assistance was provided by law school faculty members Don Judges, Steve Sheppard, Mike Mullane, Kathryn Sampson, Lindlee Baker, Tim Tarvin and Stanley Adelman.
