The Winston Cup
	The Winston Cup honors the top two Policy debaters on the Whitman debate team. Each recipient has their name engraved on the trophy and wins a cash award. The Cup is named in honor of James Albert and Bertha May Steers Winston, grandparents of David Allard, a Whitman debater who graduated in 1951. David, along with his wife Hildred, generously endowed the Winston Cup to inspire new generations of Whitman debaters. Background on the Cup David Allard's Debate Clippings
