Forensic Team Claims Multiple Victories

Truman’s Forensic Union scored high at Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Mo., for the fourth annual Bob R. Derryberry Memorial tournament, Sept. 30-Oct. 1.

Freshmen Thomas Segroves and Nicole Johnson both advanced as novice semifinalists in Lincoln-Douglas debate. Sophomore Johnathan Christy took first place in the open division of Lincoln-Douglas and earned a 100 percent win record in elimination rounds at the tournament. The team next competes at the Missouri Mule and Dale Carnegie tournaments Oct. 15-16 at the University of Central Missouri.

Participation in the forensics program is open to any Truman student in good standing, regardless of prior speech and debate experience.
