CFL #2 Results

After a week off, our team competed at CFL #2 at Ridge HS on Saturday. Veterans got some great fine-tuning opportunities, novices got some great experience, and we did quite well for ourselves overall. Take a look:

  • Naomi Gonzalez – 6th place JV Extemporaneous Speaking
  • Jordan Pontelandolfo – 5th place Oral Interpretation
  • Abha Walter – 4th place JV Extemporaneous Speaking
  • Lauren Spencer – 4th place Dramatic Performance
  • Bryn Bennett & Caitlyn Dempsey – 4th place Duo Interpretation

  • Sam Halpern – 3rd place Congress
  • Team Sweepstakes – 4th place

Perhaps you’ve already heard about some other excitement from the tournament. Two of our students had the great fortune to debate Stephen Colbert’s son this weekend at CFL #2. What was perhaps more surprising to them was that when they walked in their room, Mr. Colbert was sitting in the back, ready to watch the debate. Mr. Colbert is also a speech and debate alumni from his childhood in South Carolina, so it was really great to see him supporting the activity.
