It was a banner weekend for the Mid-Prairie large group speech team. The team traveled to Monticello for the Cedar Valley Conference Large Group Speech Contest. Six of the team’s seven entries received division one ratings and three entries were named “Best of Center.” M-P senior Ciana Carr won the award for “Best Actress in a One Act Play.”

The One Act Play called Selfie, starring Aleigha Gugel, Abby Pickard, Carr, Taylor Hillbrand, Rhett Leonard, Josh Fox, Isaiah Sents, Sawyer Black, Isaac Yoder, and Lillian Radeboldt-Hopper took home Best of Center honors. Best of Center was awarded to the Short Film called Withering, made by Caleb Davis, Josh Gingerich, Ben Stone, Gina Waters, Dominick Helmuth, and Josh Allen. Group Improv with Leonard and Anna Yoder also won Best of Center.

The team will be on the road once again Saturday at Wapello High School for the District Contest.
