Ithaca College's Speech and Debate Team put in a more than repectable performance at Ohio State University this past weekend. First year student Nicole Reustle was both second speaker and finalist in her divsion at the tournament.
There were over 35 schools at Ohio State's Holiday Frolic Tournament which was held December 2nd and 3rd. Ithaca College sent four students to compete in the Lincoln Douglas debate division at the tournament. The team competed in both the open and novice division. Reustle's 4-2 preliminary record qualified her for the elimination rounds where she lost on a 2-1 decision in the final round to a debater from Lafayette College. Reustle, who competed in the novice division, also received an award for being the second best speaker in her division. With a noteworthy performance was Charles Sheldon who competed in the open division and finished with a 3-3 record in the preliminary rounds. Shelton lost a close debate to a student from Creighton University in the sixth round which kept him from qualifying for the elimination rounds.
