Although we await the final placings in International and United States Extemp later this evening, NSDA has already named the exact placings of the semi-finalists in International and United States Extemp.
Included below are the rankings for the semi-finalists in International and United States Extemp at this year’s national tournament. Competitors that are highlighted in blue are non-seniors who have the option of automatically returning to next year’s national tournament in that same extemp category. What was very impressive was that two non-seniors – Shreetika Singh of Seven Lakes High School (TX) and Nathaniel Saffran of Trinity Preparatory School (FL) – finished seventh in International and United States Extemp, respectively.
