Park Super Speechers Off to a Great Start

February 15, 2010 • written by Samantha Hartfiel

Over the past three Saturdays, members of the Park High School Speech Team have been waking up early and representing Park very well at various meets.  Thus far, the team of approximately twenty students has competed in meets at Eden Prairie, Prior Lake, and Forest Lake, and after each meet, at least twenty percent of the team has taken home either a ribbon or a trophy.  

                “You guys should be very proud,” Coach Werner beamed on the bus ride home after the first meet, “Over twenty percent of our team made it to finals. Go Wolfpack!”

                The speech season will continue for another seven weeks, with hopefully many more awards to come to Park High School.  Trophies and ribbons are showcased in the Speech trophy case, located across the hall from the second staircase, next to room 112. With the help of the seven coaches, Park plans to fill the case by the end of the season.
