The Laurel-Concord-Coleridge Speech team traveled to Wisner on Feb. 21 to compete in a meet in which all participants performed well.
Twenty-one teams competed on Saturday in what was a National Individual Events Tournament of Champions (NIETOC) qualifying meet. Several events had three levels of finals - recycled, white and green. Recycled finalists received “recycled” medals and trophies that have been rescued from the landfill.
Those who placed included Kennedy Hall, who earned fifth place in Persuasive Speaking (in the green or top final), and Faith Galvin, who placed second in Recycled Final in Extemporaneous Speaking. The Oral Interpretation of Drama (OID) team, Kennedy Hall, Ava Christiansen, and Nolan Nordby, earned fifth place in the white final. Students received valuable feedback from the judges that they can use to improve at future competitions. The team’s home meet will be held on February 28 and the conference meet is scheduled for March 9. Be sure to come out and show your support for the team.
