“Broken Bow again proved to be a very challenging tournament,” commented Coach Mary Rau. “Twenty-three teams attended this tournament, and there were close to fifty competitors in some events. The speakers who did break finals—Megan Maxwell and the varsity and novice OIDs—did very well in that final round.
“Our presentations are starting to gel. It will be interesting to see how we do in Ord against schools that are more comparable to us in size and competition experience.”
