The 4th SNAFU (South and North Atlantic Forensics Union) tournament of the year was hosted by Cedar Crest College in Allentown over the weekend.  The Lafayette Forensics team placed 4th on both days of the tournament.  On the first day, Teevrat Garg finished 1st in Extemporaneous Speaking, 2nd in Informative Speaking,  and 3rd in Impromptu Speaking.  Those finishes were enough for Teevrat to finish 2nd in Individual Sweepstakes.  Samantha Sangenito finished 4th in Prose Interpretation while Nicholas Ufier finished 4th in Extemporaneous Speaking.

On the second day, Angela Wnek finished 2nd in Duo Interpretation (with Sangenit0), 3rd in Poetry Interpretation, 4th in Impromptu Speaking, 4th in Dramatic Interpretation.  Those finishes were enough for Angela to finish 1st in Individual Sweepstakes.  The finish is Angela’s first Individual Sweepstakes award and she is the first Lafayette freshman to win Individual Sweepstakes at a tournament.  In other results, Kyle deCant finished 1st in Extemporaneous Speaking and 4th in Persuasive Speaking.  Katie Starkweather finished 3rd in Exteporaneous Speaking and 3rd in Informative Speaking.  Nicholas Ufier also finished 5th in Extemporaneous Speaking.
