2020-2021
The 2020-21 season was the first time the AMT team attended any Invitational tournaments. The A and B teams each attended 4 competitions this year with a final record of 15-17 and 11-21 respectively.
2019-2020
2019 was the beginning of our AMTA journey.
The 2019-20 season was the AMT program's first. Our founders Anna and Maria brought two teams to Regionals in Buffalo. There the A and B teams went 3-5 and 3-4-1 respectively.
​
Our first experience with AMTA was a remarkable success given our lack of experience and the fact it was our first time learning American Law.
