Cedarcrest High School’s  FFA teams placed high in the sub-district public speaking competition held recently at Snohomish High School.

The top two spots in the Parliamentary Procedure event, designed to teach students about Roberts’ Rules of Order as well as debate skills, went to CHS teams. Taking first place was the team of Nicole Hagens, Nicole Vanderwal, Alice Ish, Courtney Tobin, Cameron Rose and Cassidy Carr. The freshman team of Benny Benson, Katelyn Hill, Josh Vanhulle, Isabella Mata, Cameron Shadwell and Addie Malanciou took second place.

Kendra Mutch competed in the creed event and won fourth place. Creed is an event that allows Greenhand members to memorize the beliefs of the FFA, the creed and to recite them to judges.

Jacobi King competed in extemporaneous speaking.  He drew a topic of Marketing Global Issues in Agriculture, and was given 30 minutes to write, memorize and deliver a four-minute speech.

Micah Mutch won third place in public speaking with his talk on wolves in Washington.

All of these students will represent Cedarcrest at the state competition in May in Pullman.
