Cady led the team, earning honors as the first place novice speaker, a distinction awarded on the basis of style, diction and decorum. She also finished as a semifinalist in the novice division.
Lobbs finished as a novice quarterfinalist in his first IPDA competition. Singleton was a novice octofinalist, while Walls was a double-octofinalist. In the varsity division, Plummer was an octofinalist.
