The Alemany Speech and Debate team competed in the Victory Briefs Tournament held at UCLA on the weekend of January 2 and 3, 2010. This was the first competition of the year for the word warriors and they were up to the challenge. Competing in Public Forum were the teams of Jessie Marquez/Pascual Varni and Robert Litrell/Brendan Varni. These veterans made us proud by advancing to the secondary rounds against tough competition from all over the United States. Also making especially strong showings were three new members of the Speech Squad. Katarina Flavin received praise for her emotional speech in the Original Oratory category and Irene Moreno and Chelsea Parker were impressive in Extemporaneous Speaking. The team looks forward to competing again at the Cal-Debate tournament at Berkeley in February. Go Warriors !
