Speech Team Shines Bright at Fall Tournaments

The small but mighty SAC speech team came away with notable wins during the Fall 2021 tournament season. Under the guidance of Justin Blacklock, coordinator for speech workshops and director of the forensic program at 圣安东尼奥 大学, the team competed virtually in three tournaments.

Earlier in the semester, three SAC students participated in the 2021 Bayou City Swing Speech Tournament. The event included 17 colleges and universities from across the nation, including University of Texas at Austin, University of Alabama, Arizona State University, 莱斯大学, and Texas State University.

It was the first time all three students competed.

Congratulations to Aaron Linville, who won third place in Informative Speaking. 

两周后, the speech team competed at the Fall Texas Intercollegiate Forensics Association (TIFA) State Tournament. This competition included 15 colleges and universities, including University of Texas at Austin, University of North Texas, 莱斯大学, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Texas State University, and Gustavus Adolphus 大学.

Lebone公司Mohloane won fourth place in Poetry Interpretation and Aaron Linville earned fifth place in Persuasive Speaking.

The next day Lebone公司Mohloane won second place in Poetry Interpretation at the Tyler Junior 大学 Invitational.

The speech team will resume competition in Spring 2022.
