Deuel Oral Intep "Sweeps" the Competions

Deuel Oral Interp has been rocking the competitions this year. “We have been doing exceptionally well this year! We broke some records at the Karl E. Mudnt Dakota Invitational at Dakota State University in Madison on this past Saturday.” says Miranda Wells, assistance coach. “We are definitely moving up.”
Deuel students have been rising up from the start. “We have made leaps and bounds. We went from excellences, which was thirds and fourths, to superior pluses, which are firsts and seconds. We are winning a lot of meets and beating out A schools! It's very exciting,” says Wells.
The students proved themselves at the DSU meet in Madison. Kyle Pederson, a junior, placed first in Serious Prose Interpretation. He also received a $500 scholarship to Dakota State University. Along with that the following three rounds of preliminary competition Grand Finalists were Megan Thiewes in Oratory, and the duo teams of Stephanie Stee and Jerra Olson, and Megan Thiewes and Kyle Pederson. The Honor Finalists were Jerra Olson and Krista Zellner in Humor, Sam Wiekamp in Poetry, MiKayla Zubke in Prose, and Kjirstin Almos in Oratory Honor Finals, who placed first.
“I haven't seen everyones yet but I really like Kyle Pederson's Prose piece because it really touches you, and he preforms it very well. I think the “Celebrities Got Talent” readers theater is quite good too,” says Stephanie Stee, a junior.
The team received a second place class A Sweepstakes trophy, and they were ranked third in team points over the other twenty Class AA, A, and B schools.
