After competing at the West Kansas National Qualifying Tournament, all of Pratt High s forensics kids who made it into semi-finals will be going to nationals competition. On Friday, April 16th and Saturday, April 17th, sophomore Alyssa Green and senior Hogan Thompson competed through five rounds to earn 1st at the qualifier, which will propel them into the NSDA virtual nationals tourney.
Other students also earned top medals to qualify for nationals. Senior Colby Barradas earned #2 in Program Oral Interpretation (POI) and #3 in Humorous Interpretation, but since he had to choose only one primary event to bring (part of the NSDA rules), he chose POI. This senior made it to NSDA s virtual competition last year in 2020 at the national level, and with a Dramatic Interp, he made it past all of the preliminary rounds and into the top 60 nationwide. He s hoping to best that placement this year with his POI about the pandemic.
