LHS Forensics had an incredible showing at the Liberal meet, bringing home 2nd Place in Team Sweeps, with 13 entries advancing to Finals and 4 more qualifying for State Championships! Our students continue to raise the bar each week, and this tournament proved just how much hard work and heart they bring to the activity.
A huge congratulations to Abby Holmes for earning 1st Place in Prose—in her very first time competing in Prose—and qualifying for State! Jarrod Hilger placed 3rd in Prose in his first time in the event, with Tanya Roman taking 4th Place in Prose. In Serious Solo, Zael Bermudez captured 2nd Place, qualifying for State Championships, while Maelee Katz placed 3rd and Jarrod Hilger added a 4th Place finish.
In Informative, Camden Bergkamp earned 4th Place. Emmanuel Gonzalez claimed 1st Place in Original Oration in his first time ever competing in OO, also qualifying for State Championships! Addison Grusing placed 5th in Original Oration in her first time in the event. Isaac Bradford earned 5th Place in Extemp.
In IDA, Zael Bermudez and Camden Bergkamp finished 2nd, while Addison Grusing and Abby Holmes placed 4th, qualifying for State Championships. Cheyenne Grusing and Gisele Romero rounded out the finals with a 5th Place finish.
This team just keeps improving every single week. I am so proud of every student—especially those stepping out of their comfort zones to compete in events they don’t normally do. Their courage, enthusiasm, and commitment are what makes this program special.
Next up: At Hodgeman County on February 21st! Let’s keep the momentum going!
