After that, the full 38-member team will be eligible to compete in the Middle Level 2 meet in Beaver Dam on February 21, 2023.
“This meet was a major undertaking and could not have happened without the amazing patience and support of so many people. A very special thanks to many SPMS administrative, custodial, and teaching staff members and to so many family, friends, dedicated community members, and the high school forensics team and coach, for volunteering their time and experience.” complimented Forensics Coach Louann Rinken, who was the lead organizer of the event.
