Ithaca College Student Elijah Breton Finishes First at Speech Tournament

2016 Apr 27

Ithaca College student Elijah Breton finished in first place in the prose interpretation event at Emerson College's Rose Invitational Speech Tournament on February 21.

This is Breton's first year on the college's Speech & Debate Team, though he competed on a team throughout high school. He says he decided to start competing again this year for fun and to see if he could still be competitive. Breton enjoys competing in Dramatic Interpretation and Prose because he can really make the material his own.

"I was certainly very pleased to place first in Prose at the Rose Invitational," said Breton. "It shows that Ithaca has a strong Speech & Debate program and more people should join."
