The Speech Team Strikes Again



By Alyssa Bissell

Last weekend the speech team traveled west the hometown of Coach Mehrhoff, Anita, for the annual Walnut Hill speech tournament. Although this tournament is known to be tough, the Interstate 35 squad came out at 2nd place with a whopping eighty six points, just under Ankeny. Last year, the team placed fourth, so this year’s outcome was truly an achievement, especially while competing against bigger schools.

The people who placed this year include:
Acting: first place Mariah Lewis, second place Justin Pontier
After Dinner: 2nd place Kaley Chicoine, 3rd Place Mariah Lewis
Freshman Poetry: 2nd place Brittany Mease
Original Oratory: 2nd place Kaley Chicoine
Public Address: 2nd place Andrew Morris, 3rd place Megan Ellis
Reviewing: 2nd place Alex Bertrand
Solo Musical Theatre: 3rd place Andrew Morris
Storytelling: 1st place Justin Pontier

With such outstanding results, the speech team has had a strong practice and idea of what is to come at State this weekend.
