Those qualified include senior Michal Bernasconi in humorous solo; senior Mike Goodrow in extemporaneous speaking; senior Rachel Schultz in prose; senior Stephanie Roberts in dramatic solo and duet acting; senior Devin Ermoian in Lincoln-Douglas Debate; senior Patrick Waring in poetry; junior Michael Raven in extemporaneous speaking and impromptu; junior Alex Muirhead in prose; junior Lexi Copeland in prose and duet; junior Kyle Haley in extemporaneous speaking; and sophomore Amaris Morin in prose and poetry.
"I am extremely proud of the hard work and dedication that the students showed this season,” forensics coach Zachary Butte said. “I know that we are going to have lots of fun at the State Championship tournament, and hopefully we will come back with some hardware hanging around our necks."
