Jensen (both juniors) earned
sixth place in Duet Acting.
The Jensens earned a
spot in Finals after finishing
fourth (Round 1) and
third (Round 2) in their
preliminary rounds. (The
tournament was formatted
with two preliminary rounds
to determine who made it into
a final round.)
“This was the duet's
first time competing in finals,
and they finished sixth
overall—earning them a
medal,” Tigers’ Speech
Director Christalin Ginn said.
The Tigers scored
thirty-one points total
including sixteen from Duet
Acting, eight points from Oral
Interpretation of Serious
Prose, and seven points from
Extemporaneous Speaking.
Overall, the team
finished in eighth place
behind seventh place Elkhorn
Valley (56).

finished just outside of Finals
after placing fourth (Round 1)
and fifth (Round 2) in her
preliminary rounds.
Kumm battled in her
preliminary rounds, but was
one of three that did not make
it into Finals.
“Aleia placed third in
the first round, but went over
the allotted time, so she fell to
fourth,” Ginn said.
The Tigers’ lone
Extemporaneous Speaking
contestant,
Anthony Heiman (So.), had a
tough first round as was
unable to make it to Finals.
He placed fourth
(Round 1) and third (Round 2)
in his preliminary rounds.
Ginn was pleased with
her speakers’ first round
performance: “In the
first round, no one scored
below a 44 out of 50, which is
the best we have done all
year.”
Overall, the Tigers
(though few in numbers) had
a productive year. They
improved gradually as the
season progressed.
“I am…
(CONTINUED………....PG. 4)
(CONTINUED FROM PG. 3)
…super proud of
every single one of them. I
have seen them work really
hard this year. We earned
three more medals than we
did last year. This
improvement is
tremendous,” Ginn added.
