Quarters and Semis!

NITOC 2016 is wrapping up.  Only one more day left.  More and more students are on campus in shorts and t's and the audiences in rounds are getting larger as breaks eliminate more and more students from the competition. Beckett and Kyle were sadly eliminated in Parli today. 

However, in the speech arena Vector remains strong!  Beckett, Kyle, and David broke to quarters this morning. Beckett in  Monologue, David in Apol, and Kyle in Apol, Mars Hill, and Extemp.  

Later this evening semi-final breaks were announced this afternoon and the boys made it to semi-finals!!  David in Apol, Kyle in Apol and Extemp, and Beckett in Monologue.  They competed tonight and will hear breaks for speech finals in the morning.  

Regardless of how they finish, I am so proud of ALL our Vector competitors! I'll make one more post tomorrow night after the awards ceremony.  Stay tuned!

What's the secret to your success, Kyle? "Please no photos." 

Beckett mistakenly puts on the wrong jacket before a round.
