Speech Section results

Well, none of my students made it past the Section tournament to go to State next week. However, four of my six did make it into the final round at sections -- two-thirds is a pretty high percentage. Three of those (including two who worked as a duo) ended up in sixth place, the other one in eighth. Of the two who didn't make finals, one would have been essentially in eighth position (seven contestants made finals; she had the highest score of those who didn't), and the other would have been somewhere around 7th (six made finals in her category; three people were tied one point out from that -- if there had been only one or two, they would also have been in the final round). I'm pretty pleased with my team's results. One of those in finals at sections is a freshman in his first year in speech.
