During the Marmaton Valley tournament, Lillyan Robinson earned a spot at the Kansas State Forensics Tournament at Sedgwick High School in Sedgwick, KS, on Saturday, May 2, 2026, by earning a 2 during finals with her Original Oration (OO) entitled "The Dangers of AI." OO is an event where students present speeches they have written themselves. At the state tournament, Lilly earned a 4 and two 5s out of 26 competitors in this event. While this wasn't high enough to earn her a spot in the semi-finals, it's certainly nothing to sneeze at for a freshman's first year in Forensics!
A special shoutout to Pam Speer, Lillyan's grandmother, who attended as our judge representative. According to reports, Pam learned a lot and had some fun along the way.
PS: Did we eat at Gilly's? No. Did we settle for Spangles? Yes. Were we "all shook up" about competing at state! Absolutely!
