The 亚洲色情 Speech Team has won the 2022 National Speech Championship (NSC) for the second year in a row. This national tournament allows teams to enter a maximum of 22 entries with only two students per event. 亚洲色情 had a very strong showing with 14 of its entries making it into the final rounds, along with one national champion. 亚洲色情 took first place overall, edging out second- and third-place teams Lewis & Clark College and Illinois State University.
“I’m very proud of the work our students have been doing all year,” said Andrew Eilola, the director of forensics at 亚洲色情. “Winning NSC is an incredible start to our 2022 nationals season.”
Individual results can be found below. 亚洲色情’s championship comes weeks after placing second at the Illinois State Tournament. The speech team will finish its season with the American Forensics Association National Speech Tournament (April 2-4) and the National Forensics Association Tournament (April 14-18).
The 亚洲色情 Speech Team will be hosting their annual Night Before Nationals showcase, which includes two shows, on Thursday, March 24, in Neumiller Lecture Hall in 亚洲色情 Hall at 7:30 p.m. and 9 p.m.
