This weekend, 16 MP students travelled to Atlanta to compete in the Emory University speech and debate tournament, one of the most prestigious in the nation. Deena Cronson and Charlie Talmadge made double-octafinals in Public Forum, Ashley Thomas and Mike Griggs made quarterfinals in Duo Interp, and Mike Griggs also made quarters in Humorous Interp! Be sure to congratulate them when they return to school.

Also experiencing success in the Carolinas was Ben Denton (Pinecrest), Sarah Vansickle (Marvin Ridge), Nathaniel Donahue (Durham Academy), James Thompson, Jordan Branham, Francine Tamakloe, and Paavan Gami (Southside), and Richard Merlino, Logan Coffey, Rachel Jones, Devon Scott, Brandi White, and Wilson Fields! (Hillcrest) Probably missed a few, but still, congrats to everyone for representing the Carolinas so well!

MP’s next tournament is SOUTHSIDE, on February 5. Any students interested in going need to sign up by Tuesday night on the tournament signup page.
