Division Highlights
Speech Success!
Our Middle School Speech team finished out a fantastic year this week:
We placed 4th in our Division (improving upon our 5th place finish last year).
Chloe Yune & Huda Hamed placed 8th (out of 24 duos) in Dramatic Duo.
Muhammad Khan placed 10th (out of 26) in Humorous Prose.
Ellie Kissel placed 6th in Extemporaneous.
Last year, we only had 1 Duo place, compared to 4 competitors placing this year. Coach Angela Craft is happy with the improvement of the team.
In addition, Chloe and Huda were chosen as Evansville Day School's Speakers of the Year as a result of their dedication both at practice and at competitions, their demonstrated leadership to their fellow teammates, and their impressive finishes at the various preliminary meets.
We hope to see you at Speech Encore Night on November 30th!
