Governing body WHSFA announced plans to move ahead with an online State Speech & Debate Tournament scheduled for April 22-25. The unprecedented move to distance competing will be a first in Wyoming but will salvage the event that would have been cancelled due to the pandemic. Details and logistics will need some ironing out, but WHSFA state president Londe Gonyon, who is also JHHS Speech and Debate Team co-coach with Peggy Gonyon said it was important for the kids’ sake to explore every option. “One of the things clear from the beginning is the idea that we do what’s best for the kids. And, in the end, we would rather give them something rather than nothing,” Gagnon shared. “It’s not an ideal situation. Going online presents a whole new set of challenges. But we are committed to fumble along and figure it out, because I think it is important to have something to be focused on during this dark time. Even for myself, I’ve noticed how planning and focusing on this event has helped take my mind off any anxiety.” Statewide, coaches will be working in committees to finalize the rules, regulations, and event details in this new format.
