The Green River High School Speech and Debate team celebrates their second-place win at the State Tournament.
Kaylee Noyes was one of 13 students who qualified for this year's National Tournament during Districts.
The Green River High School Speech and Debate team wrapped up a successful season over the last two weekends, bringing home some exciting wins.
First, the team took place in the District Tournament, hosted by Rock Springs, over the weekend of March 2.
"The team had amazing success at districts this year," the Speech and Debate coaching staff posted on the team's Facebook page. "For the kids, this is the most important tournament of the season. It is the tournament that decides who will qualify for the National Tournament in Des Moines, Iowa, this June."
Green River was able to qualify 13 students who will make the trip to Nationals.
On top of the success of the qualifiers, the team also won the Debate Sweepstakes.
Following the success of Districts, the Wolves went to the Wyoming State Speech and Debate Tournament in Cheyenne last weekend. After a full weekend of tough competition, Green River finished in second place, coming in behind Rock Springs.
"What a good end to an amazing season," the Wolves coaching staff posted on Facebook. "So proud of all these kids."
