Before all Wisconsin schools were closed March 16th due to COVID-19, the Memorial forensics team was set to finish the 2019-2020 season strong and possibly take home our 14th state championship in a row. However, school closures haven’t slowed down the team as they continue to prepare for the virtual state tournament in early May. Online qualifiers for the National Speech and Debate Association’s national competition were held April 5th — congratulations to Sugeeth Sathish, Augustus Liu, Tanmayi Golkonda, Maggie Di Sanza, Emma Mayhew, and Anika Sanyal for qualifying to compete in the national tournament June 14th!
