The 2nd SCJFL Speech Tournament took place on Friday, 11/30/18, at Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood.

One of the largest-scale middle school tournaments hosted by SCJFL, 238 contestants from 15 middle schools competed on this day.

Although it was a cold day, Kudos Speech Team students were all excited to participate in the second quarter tournament of this academic year, especially Allison Pang. She was worried about her performance due to a long script and was afraid of making mistakes, yet that also motivated her to practice more than usual.
After the 3rd round she broke into Finals and after two elimination rounds Allison got 6th place in Dramatic Interpretation!

Her teammate Ryan was awarded the 7th place among the 42 participants.

In Poetry, Kudos veteran contestant Cassie Kao competed in the largest event where 51 students entered. She won a straight 1st place in each of the first three rounds, broke into final, and garnered the 5th place trophy.

New teammate Kaylee Wong also broke and won the 12th place in Poetry.
