Southwest Baptist University Forensics team competed at the I-65 Swing in Sedalia,
Missouri on November 12-13. This tournament was hosted at the Sedalia State Fair Community
College. The SBU Speaking Bearcats won over 37 awards during this two day tournament.
“This was a great win for the Speaking Bearcats, and I am incredibly proud of these students for continuing the team’s history of success. As we continue to succeed throughout these tournaments, it is an important reminder that we can share our values and beliefs in ways that can speak to the world around us. What I enjoy most about these events is that students are better educated on universal topics and learn how to articulate their thoughts in ways that speak to everyone,” said Coach Taylor Corlee.
