4/15/2023 The Last SCJFL Speech Tournament

The last In-Person Speech Tournament was held at Jefferson Midle School in San Gabriel on Friday, April 15. Six Kudos students competed in Open Impromptu. After a solid five hours and three rounds, Betty Chen, Kaylee Lu, and Paxton Kim-Tang broke into Finals.

In the final placements, Kaylee Lu won Fourth Place, Paxton Kim-Tang won Third Place, and Betty Chen won Second Place.

Huge congrats and applause to all of them for their hard work work throughout the year. The Speech Team coach, Mrs. Kalmus, was extremely proud of their growth and willingness to aim high, not giving up, and, most importantly, appreciated parental support.

This April tournament also conluded this year’s training season and we look forward to seeing them back again in the Fall.

Here are some behind-the-scenes winner’s photos and bloopers!
