Second to None!



The Edina Debate and Speech team attended the NSDA National Tournament in Ft. Lauderdale,
June 17-22, 2018.  Speech & Debate Captain Tanner Jones finished 2nd in U.S. Extemporaneous Speaking in a field of approximately 250 competitors across the nation.  In addition to winning a $500 college scholarship for his final round performance, Tanner also won an all-expense trip to the Ronald Reagan Library in California for a chance to win $10,000 in additional scholarships. 

Other teammates who qualified and attended NSDA Nationals include Mark Kivimaki in U.S. Extemp and Joshua Ding & Claire Anderson-McElligott in Policy Debate. 

Congratulations to the Edina team for an amazing performance!  
Hornet Pride!
