-
- Overall out of 400 teams, Strathmore received 21st place in the opening & guaranteed 4 rounds. Because of this, we easilymade it to the elimination rounds limited to the top 64 teams.
- In the elimination rounds, we continued to win. Beating Stetson University from the United States in the round of 64 and beating Saarland University from Germany in the round of 32. Ultimately, we advanced to the round of 16 where we were eliminated. That being said, we represent the only sub-Saharan African school in the history of the moot to ever advance to the round of 16. This is why we have drawn so much attention.
- To give this some context, Loyola Chicago, Harvard, NYU, Fordham, and Columbia were all participants in this Moot and none of them advanced past the round of 64.
- Lastly, of the 400 teams and nearly 1600 student oralists, Fenan Estifanos, Irene Muhoro, and Winfed Kiberu won individual awards for being in the top 50 oralists in the entire competition. This is a huge feat.
