Whitewater High School Forensics Team places 1st in Small Teams Division at UW-W Speech Bowl

Whitewater High School Forensics competed at UW-Whitewater’s annual Speech Bowl on Saturday, led by outstanding performances from seniors Emerson Ellenwood (Expository Speaking) and Emmanuella Mbifi (Extemporaneous Speaking) and junior Carley Boudreau (Informative Speaking). Their combined efforts earned them 1st Place in the Small Teams Division. The award for this division is known as the Jeanine Fassl Award, named in honor of Jeanine Fassl, former Director of UW-Whitewater’s Forensics program and long-time Whitewater resident and advocate for the arts. Jeanine was there to present the award, making the occasion even more memorable.
