BRUNSWICK — Brunswick High School hosted more than 30 schools and more than 300 competitors who attended the Maine State Championship Tournament Saturday. BHS’s Speech team tied a much larger program for the most number of first-place finishes. State Champion Duo Julia Krutul and Emma Hughes led the way, with runners up Ania Johnston and Calla Hladky in second place. Also earning State Champion titles were sophomores Sarah Poutree in Oratorical Declamation and Logan Holt in Extemporaneous speaking. Freshman Katherine Robinson brought home 3rd place in Novice Prose, and Julia Krutul took 5th place in Original Works. Genevieve Vogel double entered for the first time this year, and earned a first place ranking in one of her Novice Prose rounds. Connor Flotten represented us in the Congress Senate for his final State competition. Competition for the National Tournament will take place at Poland Regional High School on Saturday, Feb. 4.
