Students also assist in preparing their works for exhibit.

I am so proud to announce the El Camino Speech Team’s most recent accomplishment! We have
just returned from State Championships in Woodland Hills and captured the following awards:
Richard Ewell-TOP SPEAKER in STATE OVERALL, Top speaker in all individual events
(Tabor Collins Award), Gold in team debate, Gold in Lincoln-Douglass debate, Silver in
Impromptu, Silver in Extemporaneous
Sydney Awakuni-Top speaker in debate (Jim Wyman award) Silver in team debate, Silver in
Lincoln Douglass, Silver extemp, Gold impromptu (best impromptu speaker in State)
Mark Faaita—Gold team debate, Gold Lincoln Douglass Debate, Silver extemp, Bronze
impromptu
David “Bear” Saulet—Gold team debate, Silver Lincoln Douglass
Wendy Steiner—Silver team debate, bronze impromptu, bronze Speech to Entertain
Whitney Gamble—Gold in Oral Interpretation (best in State)
Morgan McNally—Gold impromptu, Bronze extemp
Tony Liu—Silver team debate, silver Lincoln Douglass debate
James Nee—Silver team debate, Gold extemp
Shannon Meredith—Gold team debate, Bronze Lincoln Douglass
Albro Lundy—Bronze team debate, Gold impromptu, Bronze Extemp
Ben Porter—Bronze team debate
Aubrey Manahan—Bronze persuasive
This team is also ranked (and has finished the year) by the National Parliamentary Debate
Association as the number one Community College in the nation, and the number 2
University in the nation! This includes about 300 colleges and Universities.
I hope you see some of your students! They are being heavily recruited by 4 year Universities. I
want to ask your help on ideas to raise more money for the entire team to go to Nationals in
April. Due to budget restraints, we have only booked TEN of these students for the National
tournament, and we hope and pray there is a way to send all of them. We’ve enjoyed much
success over the years, and we really appreciate your support, but this year (our best since I
began at ECC in 1986) is truly a special year. Please forward ideas for funding (we’ve done
several fundraisers) perhaps accounts with money left in them, or anything else you can think of.
Deadlines are imminent.
Thank you,
