This past weekend the Manhattan High Forensics team competed once again out of town to get more students nationally and state qualified.

Out of the students that attended the Congress portion of the tournament on Friday, sophomore Kylie Alexander was the only one who placed, which was fifth.

On Saturday senior Sterling Edgar placed first in the International Extemporaneous competition, while senior Spencer Parish placed fifth in Informative.

The last placement received was in the newest national qualifier division of Forensics, Program Oral Interpretation. Junior Kriya Newfield placed third in this compilation event of Prose, Poetry, Dramatic and Humorous Interpretation.
