TMP Forensics Starts Strong

Macksville, Ks

 Feb 2, 2008

 

 

After lots of work and preparation, the Forensics team had a strong showing at their first tournament Saturday in Macksville.  Their were 10 schools total competing at this tournament.  The duo of Lucas Vitztum and Erin Stouffer took first place overall in Improvised Duet Acting(IDA).  Mark Wasinger and Merry Lovewell took second place overall in Duet Acting.  Mark and Samie Pfeifer took 5th place overall in IDA.  Hayley Schmidtberger placed 6th overall in Poetry.  Hayley did not choose her poem to be read until the Thursday before the tournament, so this was quite the accomplishment for her!  Also competing together were Jackie Walters and Merry Lovewell, who in a very crowded IDA field, missed reaching Finals by only one place.  Mason Ruder also accompanied the team, but will not perform until our next tournament.  Mason was a tremendous help to his teammates by watching their events and offering support and advice between rounds.  
Special thanks to coach Cheryl Glassman for her help and Barb Wasinger who also accompanied us to Macksville.  The coaches and students all had a good time and learned a great deal at our first tournament.  This is a great group of students that represented our school very well both in performance and conduct.  We're excited about the rest of the Forensics season and looking forward to our next tournament!
