The semester is up and running! Lafayette College started classes on Monday but the speech team has already been to 2 tournaments this month! 

HFO~~

Two weeks ago, we took a few students to Austin, Texas for the Hell Froze Over tournament at the University of Texas at Austin, aptly named for it’s aggressive and intense back to back rounds. The students were troopers and performed phenomenally. HFO results are below:

In the Saturday portion of the tournament we had multiple semifinals breaks. Camsey broke to semifinals in ADS, Ben broke to semis in info, and Natalia broke to semis in impromptu!

Camsey was 5th in info and Natalia was 6th in impromptu!

In the Sunday portion of the tournament, there were multiple breaks as well! Natalia broke to semis in DI while Camsey broke to semis in info. Camsey was also 6th in prose!
