Hunter wins in oral interpretation, heads to district qualifier with teammate for possible national shot
Kaylyn Hunter will head to district qualifiers in Wind River.
Following a weekend in Riverton to compete in the State Tournament, Saratoga speech and debate team returned with one of the four members seeing success in two categories.
"Kaylyn (Hunter) was our only one to break into semis," said Head Coach Johnny Mercer. "She competed through a pop-up quarterfinal round because there were 66 contestants in Poetry. There, she broke into semis."
Along with breaking into the semi-final round in Poetry, Hunter also saw some success in Program Oral Interpretation (POI).
"While she didn't break in POI, her performance ranking there was enough to win her a 1A/2A All State title in POI," Mercer said.
For two of the members of the team, the season comes to an end. This weekend, Hunter and fellow talk jock Shelby Randall will head to Green River to compete in the National Speech and Debate Association (NSDA) Wind River District qualifiers where they will get a chance to head to the National NSDA tournament.
