Speech competition helps students hone skills

January 12, 2002 By admin

Thousands of Iowa students will sharpen their communication skills today in the Iowa High School Speech Association Tournament. Craig Ihnen, executive director of the group, says more than 20-thousand youth from 357 schools are taking part in 15 Iowa locations. They’re taking part in nine theatrical categories, including: mime, one-act play, group improv and T-V newscasting. The traditional debate-style tournament was held two weekends ago. Ihnen says taking part in this sort of competition teaches students lessons they may never learn in a classroom.Ihnen says this tournament offers Iowa high school students an opportunity to build on character traits they’ll use their whole lives.The bulk of the competitions run from 8 A-M to 5 P-M today and all are open to the public in sites including: Des Moines, Ankeny, Clarke, Audubon, Okoboji, River Valley, Fort Dodge, Woodbury, Grundy Center, Ventura, Decorah, Monticello, Danville, Montezuma and Clinton.
