February 2026 (mnudl.augsburg.edu) – Congratulations to Washington Technology High School’s David Quosig, named the National Association for Urban Debate Leagues’ Coach of the Year!
The NAUDL Coach of the Year award recognizes that teachers who coach debate are essential to the Urban Debate Network meeting NAUDL’s core mission: helping students to become more academically successful — and civically engaged — through the support and rigor of debate. This award honors that work.
David is the first ever Minnesota Urban Debate League coach to win this prestigious national honor in our 20 year history.
Quosig receives a $1,000 honorarium and a trip to Chicago in March to receive the award at NAUDL’s 2026 Annual Gala. He was notified of the honor in a ceremony at Washington Technology Magnet School.
In his nomination, MNUDL Program Director Jake Swede noted, “He’s been putting in the work for a long time. He’s had a great team during his time at WTMS. As program director, I like to say the great coaches we have are caring, competitive, and consistent. David Quosig has had those traits throughout his career with the MNUDL.”
