The team finished up the PKD National Tournament last week! It was a return to Athens, OH and Ohio University! For those of you who were at the last PKD I am sure you remember the tournament as an entire full day of completion was canceled and reschedule due to a blizzard that shut down the whole city. This year was MUCH warmer and the team really showed up!!

We finished with the following results:

5th Place Overall Debate Team in Teir 3
10th Place Overall Speech Team in Teir 3
8th Place Overall Combined Speech and Debate in Teir 3

Abiah George was the Top Speaker in JV IPDA debate and a quarter finalist in extemp, editorial impromptu, and JV IPDA.

Haylee Bohnet, Hannah Smith, Liv Ashley, and Kaitlyn Maas all scored valuable points in their events that helped us secure our highest awards at PKD in recent years.
