The first 1.5 days of the tournament are the preliminary rounds so Tuesday afternoon began the announcement of breaks. This is when announcements are made about which students are moving on in their respective events. Debate breaks were announced first and we were excited to hear that Victoria had made it to double octas in Lincoln Douglas. She did not advance any further but it did earn her a spot at the Regional tournament at the end of the season.
Members of our club, Apolojax
Speech breaks were made Thursday morning and the excitement was high!
We found out that Victoria broke with her Open Interp...
and Hannah anxiously awaited to hear about Humorous. Can't you see the agony?
Her prayers were answered and she made it to semifinals!
Later in the day, many of our club members sat together to hear about speech finals. We hadn't heard about After Dinner Speaking because the low amount of students only allowed it to break to finals.
The girls anxiously await and find out they both made it to After Dinner finals!! Yes, that was the speech Victoria rewrote and managed to memorize in time!
Hannah also found out that she made finals in Humorous! She was a little excited!
At the awards ceremony, we found out the results of their hard work!
Now to prepare for the next tournament which is here in town!
