HURON — The Huron High School Speech & Debate Team traveled to Watertown for the Northern South Dakota District National Qualifying Tournament on Feb. 15-16.
Huron had two students qualify to the National Speech & Debate Tournament, which will be held in Dallas, Texas, in June.
In Program Oral Interp, Jasmine Snow qualified, and in Humorous Interp, Huron qualified Reese Uecker. Both are seniors. For Snow, this is her third time qualifying for the National Tournament. She attended previous National Speech & Debate Tournaments in Birmingham, Ala. (2017) and Fort Lauderdale, Fla. (2018).
“This team is really ending the season strong. They followed up a strong second place finish in the Central Forensic Conference (CFC) with an excellent National Qualifying Tournament,” said head coach Mitch Gaffer. “We had students in four final rounds, getting students to Nationals in two of them. We also had a lot of students make deep runs in the tournament. The coaching staff was very proud when we walked out of Watertown High School that night.”
