Speech and debate students are currently attending a tournament in Orlando at Timber Creek High School. Dreyfoos students are doing well in competition thus far, communications sophomore Jack Yan “broke” (qualified for) semi finals in extemporaneous speaking, and communications juniors Naomi Kelly and Taylor Rich qualified for semi finals in oratory and finals in congress (respectively).
“[When I] finished semi finals I didn’t expect to break, everyone I’ve been with was really good. It was nice to break on my birthday,” communications junior Naomi Kelly said. “Everyone here had to qualify to come and there [were] a little over 30 people in my event.”
UPDATE: Communications junior Taylor Rich placed third in the state in the congress division of the tournament.
