Members of the Speech and Debate Team show off their trophies.
The Kevin Twohy Memorial Tournament, at Diablo Valley College on October 20, proved to be an incredible showing for SF State’s Speech and Debate Team, resulting in a team-wide First Place Sweepstakes, four first-place and four second-place awards. Students won 27 individual prizes in all.
“(The Sweepstakes) award recognizes the school in attendance that accrues the most number of awards across all events and divisions, and is wonderful evidence of the power of our program,” Coach Alexis Litzky says.
