Speech team continues to see improvements

The Carbon County School District No. 2 Speech Team competed in Gillette last weekend at the Campbell County Tournament.

Several CCSD#2 speech members made it to the semi-finals while competing against 18 schools.

One student, Jacob Dickinson, made it to final rounds with his original oratory.

Making it to semi-finals were Kat Hytrek in poetry, Maya Zeiger and Lydia Smith in duet and Milo Hunter and Bradley Killion in duet.

Head coach Brenda Ostendorf said the Campbell County Tournament allowed her team to experience the talents of new competitors from Spearfish, S.D. and Sturgis, S.D., along with northern Wyoming schools.

Arianna McKinney defended her bill “A Bill to Prohibit State or U.S. Federal Government to Trade with Any Country That Systematically Denies Human Rights”.

Gabby Clutter and McKinney weighed in on bills presented by other schools including “A Bill to Reform Congressional Pay Raises to Reflect Performance”, “A Bill to Require Mandatory Drug Tests for Welfare Recipients” and “A Resolution to Train and Arm Public School Teachers”.

The Talk Jocks saw improved performance rankings in several of their categories.

Moving up were Nick Smith in drama, David Freeman in humor, McKinney in drama, Hunter in extemporaneous speaking and Larissa Ford in extemporaneous speaking.

Also seeing an improved ranking was Amber Williams in drama.

Nina Ford won two of her four Lincoln-Douglas debates and Robin Gloss and L. Ford won two of their four public forums.

The next tournament is Friday and Saturday at Natrona County High School in Casper.
