Mock Hogs has officially wrapped up our final tournaments of the fall season, and what an incredible semester competing in mock trials has been! The RSO's leadership could not be more proud of every single one of their members. Their dedication, late-night practices, countless three-hour scrimmages and unwavering enthusiasm truly paid off, and the leaders wanted to take a moment to recognize all of their hard work and achievements.

Team Baljeet had a particularly busy and successful fall, competing twice and representing Arkansas with excellence at both Ole Miss' Chucky Mullins Invitational and Creighton University's Blue Jay Invitational. At these tournaments, Makayla Bean delivered phenomenal performances. She earned outstanding witness awards at both events, receiving an impressive 19 ranks at Chucky Mullins and 17 ranks at Blue Jay. Team Baljeet as a whole was a force to be reckoned with and ultimately finished the semester at the Blue Jay Invitational with a remarkable record of five wins and three losses.

Team Doofenshmirtz hit the road for Nashville, Tennessee, where they competed in Vanderbilt's Grand Ole Tournament. Despite it being her first year on the team, Fiona McFarlane made it look easy! She earned recognition as an outstanding witness with 18 ranks. On the attorney bench, Jackson Smith also made an impressive mark, earning 19 ranks as an outstanding defense attorney. Their individual awards highlight Team Doof's overall strength and the hard work they invested in preparing their case.

Meanwhile, Team Perry also represented Arkansas at Ole Miss' Chucky Mullins Invitational. Their presence, preparation and professionalism helped round out an exciting and successful showing for Mock Hogs across all attended tournaments.

Overall, this fall season was filled with growth, achievement and memorable moments for all of our teams. The teams are incredibly grateful for the commitment of their members and their coaches - a special good luck on finals to all of their coaches who are in law school and still find time in their day to help out our program. Mock Hogs is ready to carry this momentum into the spring—we mean business!
