Congratulations to Notre Dame’s speech team for their recent successes in

sophomores Ian Falcon and Logan Hamma; junior Ty Newberry; and senior Lauren
Krieger.
Those receiving “superior” (“I”) ratings were: sophomores Mary Joyce and
Hannah Schuldt; juniors Anneliese Lachnitt and Eva Salvador; and seniors

In addition, Notre Dame competed in the Optimist Oratorical Scholarship Contest

Third place went to Mary Joyce; Logan Hamma finished second; and Lauren

Good luck to Lauren, and congratulations to all the Nike speakers! Well done!
