Though the Model United Nations team won the golden tiger, the highest award at

Princeton University’s conference, last year, this year they did not.

Of the 18 U-High students who attended the Princeton University’s on Nov. 16-19, seniors Michael Rubin and Harrison Shapiro placed first on their committees, and senior Teresa Xie and junior Jamal Nimer placed second on their committees.

Teresa, who is a secretary general, said that Princeton is a really tough conference, and while the team won last year, they did not do as well this year.

“We are trying to revamp our strategy so we can do better next year against other competitive MUN schools,” Teresa said.

The next MUN conference is Harvard MUN Jan. 25-28.
