BOZEMAN HIGH SCHOOL WINS STATE!
The Bozeman High School Speech and Debate Team won their 2nd consecutive AA State Championship at the State Tournament hosted at Bozeman High Jan. 27 and 28. The Hawkers narrowly beat 2nd place Glacier High by a score of 157.5 to 149.5. Flathead High school was 3rd with 87.5 points. Bozeman's effort was led by individual State Championships in Public Forum Debate, in which senior Marty Smith and junior Pushya Krishna won their 2nd consecutive State Title, and Dramatic Interpretation, in which sophomore Sage Crawford-Kahrl won gold. The Hawkers also had multiple silver medalists, including juniors Dale Hansen and Wilson McMakin in Policy Debate, junior Anja Wookey-Huffman in Lincoln-Douglas Debate, senior Olivia Waterton in Extemporaneous Speaking, and senior Maddy Kruse in Informative speaking. Many additional Bozeman students earned All-State honors in their events: seniors Rachel Schmidt and Devin Mahoney in Policy Debate, juniors Ava Snow and Althea Reichert in Policy Debate, junior Favour Bright in Memorized Public Address, and junior Jessica Brito in Dramatic Interpretation. Full results are attached.
I am well pleased with the way our competitors performed this weekend. We had been hit with the flu as a team, but they pushed through it, dug in their heels, and scraped out a tough State Championship. It was the very definition of team effort, with every point counting and every kid an essential part to the overall result. I couldn't be prouder of them. Coach Adam Thane
