Pegram's
Pentathlon
 We
are pleased to announce that Ms. Joey Pegram won 3rd
place in the American Forensic Association’s District qualifier
for the National Individual Events Tournament.
Joey entered the mentally grueling “pentathlon” where she
entered five events: Informative
Speaking, Prose Reading, Duo Interpretation (with Jay Pridham),
Extemporaneous Speaking, and Dramatic Interpretation.
Normally competitors enter no more than two such
events.
Joey
is a member of the Honors College majoring in Criminology.
USF Wins Fifth Place at MIT Debate Tournament
Amidst
the Ivy league, USF’s debate team of Zac Flowerree and Jon Doozan
faired quite well at the American Parliamentary Debate Tournament
held at MIT December 2-3.
Forfeiting their first round to Columbia because their plane
arrived late in Boston, Jon & Zac went on to win against the
University of Minnesota, and Harvard (twice), but lost to the
University of Chicago. And,
when it came to overall speaker quality, Zac won seventh place;
even with their first round debacle, they still managed to
win fifth place overall.
87
teams from 28 schools (primarily the northeast) participated.
As a function of this performance, Jon and Zac are invited to
tournaments at Princeton in February and Yale in March.
USF Wins First in Debate Sweepstakes at the Star
Invitational!
The University Forensics Society walked decisively
away with top honors at the 7th Star Invitational in Jacksonville,
November 10-12. Teams from all over the southeast competed,
but it was USF's day in the debate arena. It was indeed a team
effort.
- Jennifer Truitt & Lela Gray won
first in cross-examination debate;
- Zac Flowerree & Jon Doozan won third
in parliamentary debate;
- Jay Pridham & Lela Gray won sixth in
parliamentary debate;
- Keenan Arodak won third in
Lincoln-Douglas debate; and
- Dave Weber & Joey Pegram rounded out
the debate squad.
Individually, several debate speaker awards were
also fielded. Zac was judged third best speaker; his partner,
Jon, was judged fifth in parliamentary debate. In
Lincoln-Douglas debate, Keenan received first in speaker
points. Jennifer won first in speaker points for
cross-examination debate, and her partner, Lela, won second.
Not bad, not bad at all. |
