2018-19 Tournament 1: Pasco, November 3
With only eight competitors for the first tournament of the
year, Chiawana was still able to capture the first place trophy for small teams
at the Pasco High School Tournament.
Congress Captain Linh Truong led the team with a first place in Open Informative Speaking, second in Open Congressional Debate, and second in Open Program Oral Interpretation.
Debate Captain Saige Johnson followed with second place in Big Questions Debate (with partner Amy Walker) and third in Open Expository Speaking and Open Editorial Commentary.
We also have some very enthusiastic and talented novices. Amy Walker took first place in both Novice Editorial Commentary and Novice Humorous Interpretation. Alison Pettey was first place in Novice Tall Tales, and Briana Castro took first with a perfect score in Novice Dramatic Interpretation.

Four students—Conner Mahaffey, Ulises Bruno, Victor Soriano, and
Alison Pettey—competed in their first ever Congressional Debate. I was
parliamentarian in that chamber, and it was the best prepared novice chamber
I’ve ever seen. While none of our students placed, I saw tremendous growth in
them over the course of the day and have high hopes for them.
I also want to publicly compliment my captains—including Speech Captain Nathaly Mendoza, who came over after the SAT to support her team and worked with her teammates all day to help them improve their performances. All three of these young women have already been instrumental in guiding the novices. We have several students who were unable to complete, and several who are still adding events.
