At the end of each week, Extemp Central will provide a listing of results from the various local circuits around the country. One of the things we would like to get back to is some more coverage of events taking place on the national circuit and locally, so this is a way for extempers to see what is going on elsewhere, as well as the college ranks.
This week we have results from Texas, Kentucky, and Oregon, as well as a few college tournaments.
If you would like us to post the results of your event, please send them along to logan.scisco@topper.wku.edu .
Westview High School returned to the winner’s circle at this year’s Oregon School Activities Association State Speech Tournament when Suyash Sharma edged McKinley Rodriguez of Lincoln High School by judges’ preference to capture the state title. Sharma’s victory is the first by a Westview extemper since Nima Ahmadi, an NFL finalist in International Extemp, won in 2008. Edward Szczepanski of Wilson High School palced third.
