three events — informative speaking, persuasive speaking and poetry
interpretation — and second in the individual sweeps (four events needed to
enter).
Senior Eric Rasmussen, Eau Claire, placed third in
poetry interpretation and first place in duo interpretation along with junior
Ben Schneider, Greendale. Schneider also placed second in after-dinner
speaking, third in extemporaneous speaking and fifth in informative speaking.
