Many players from the Forensics team took home a lot of medals from the state tournament, team officials said Monday.
“I felt good,” Joseph Evans, 21, English major and vice president of the forensics team club said about his results from the state tournament.
He participated in four events, which are parliamentary, NFALD, impromptu and extemporaneous speaking.
Evans won a silver medal in parliamentary debate, along with the rest of the team members.
The gold medal for NFALD both silver medals for impromptu and extemp. He also won top speaker in debate, Evans said.
Members of the forensics team believed that they progresed in their performance.
“I did better than expected,” Katelyn Curran, 21, English major, said.
Curran participated in three events, which are parliamentary, where she won a silver medal.
She also won a gold medal in an extemporraneous individual speaking. As well as a gold medal in impromptu individual speaking.
“Overall as an individual I did a lot better than before,” Curran said.
As some members are showing progress in their events, others keep excelling in their talent.
“Overall, I got second place as an overall speaker and did not know it was coming,” Lillian Cavalieri, 24, political science said.
Cavalieri came undefeated in the NFALD along with Evans.
For impromptu speaking, she received a gold medal and in extemporaneous she received a gold medal as well. However, the silver medal won in the parliamentary team debate was not what the team intended.
“I was really disappointed with parliamentary debate even though it was a learning experience, but we will get the gold medal at the national competition,” Cavalieri said.
