Kathryn Doom, Jennifer Barnett, Trenton Rolston, Jackson Rolston, Presley Slaba, and Macee Stimpson are headed to State Oral Interp! On Monday, November 15th, Wagner traveled to Chamberlain to compete in our Region 2A Meet at the Cedar Shore Resort. We competed against teams from Bon Homme, Chamberlain, and Winner. We took our 1st place winners from our district meet, held on November 1st, and competed in the following categories: Non-Original Oratory, Poetry, Storytelling, Humor, Serious, Duet, and Reader’s Theater.

The region meet had one round of each category with three judges scoring all participants at the same. Wagner won the overall points trophy for Region 2A, and in every category, Wagner advanced their piece to State! State Oral Interp will be held in Huron, SD on December 3rd-4th.
