Last week, two of our qualifying Speech and Debate students represented us at the National Speech and Debate tournament in Des Moines, IA!
The experience was full of wins: one student was personally offered a full-ride scholarship from a Tennessee State University speech and debate coach, and the other left with next-level inspiration and ideas for next year’s Inform piece. As a coach, I couldn’t ask for more.
When they weren’t competing or practicing their events, we explored Des Moines and made the most out of its unique opportunities: celebrating NSDA’s 100th birthday at the zoo, connecting with Wyoming teams at Dave and Busters, catching a final round of Congressional Debate at the Capital, enjoying some local art, grabbing dinner at Zombie Burger, and even squeezing in a few rides at the amusement park.
It was a week of opportunity, growth, and some well earned fun along the way. So proud of these two and excited for what’s to come.
