7 Headed to State Speech contest
Launch the media gallery 1 playerA number of Panthers, seven to be exact, competed so well during last week's districts (that they also hosted) that they will be hitting the road on Thursday to compete at State Speech in Kearney.
Grabbing district champion honors were sophomore Maria Ras in informative and senior Olivia Osborne in serious prose. Fellow senior Zoe Sjuts was district runner-up in persuasive.
Osborne also will compete in poetry. She received a third at districts. Also receiving a third was the school's OID team of Ras, freshman Lauren Kramer and sophomores Emma Beutler, Tyler Gatzemeyer and Audra Nolting.
Others medaling last week were Sjuts and senior Kariden Briggs received a fourth place in duet acting, junior Mikki Byrne was fourth in entertainment and junior Tori Ostrand was fifth in poetry.
