On Saturday, January 20, the speech team participated in the Large Group District Contest in Cascade. Of the 31 groups that competed, 19 advanced to the State Contest in Decorah, which will be held Saturday, February 3.

“This is an amazing feat considering we lost two other performance opportunities due to the weather,” said head speech coach Abby Osborne.

Four of the advancing groups are from the freshman team, consisting of a group mime, short film, and two radio broadcasts.
