Last week was a busy one for the Mid-Prairie Speech team! Right on the heels of the IHSSA Large Group All-State Festival on Saturday, Feb. 21, 13 members of the Mid-Prairie Speech Team competed in 21 events at the River Valley Conference Individual Events Speech contest at Maquoketa High School on Monday, March 23. At this contest, 5 students placed in the top three "Best in Center," according to the judges in each category.
The team then competed at the Iowa High School Speech Association's Individual Events Speech Contest at Montezuma High School on Saturday, March 28. All 21 events received Division 1 ratings at this contest, and will be advancing to the IHSSA's State Individual Events Contest at Vinton-Shellsburg High School on Saturday, March 14.
At the IHSSA State Individual Events Speech Contest, each performance will be evaluated by three judges. With the nomination of two of the three judges per event, that student and event will advance to the IHSSA Individual Events All-State Festival on Monday, March 30. Mid-Prairie Speech Coaches are Christine Meader and Lisa Helmuth.
