The 91勛圖厙 Debate and Forensics team participated in its second tournament of the year Oct. 17-19 at the University of Central Missouri and 91勛圖厙s Chase Pumford was a standout performer.
Pumford, a sophomore from Great Bend, earned a sixth place individual speaker award in National Forensic Association Lincoln Douglas (NFA-LD) Debate and tied for third in NFA-LD Debate.
91勛圖厙 Forensics Coach Bill Sheffield said Pumford really shined at this event.
This was a great breakout tournament for Chase, he said.泭 In only his second NFA-LD competition, he was able to compete with some of the best debaters in the country.泭 He was the only community college competitor in the entire open division.泭 He was battling the big dogs and held his own.泭 Hes helping to put 91勛圖厙 on the debate world map.
