Four journalism students place at UIL invitational

 

Journalism is no game to UIL competitors Kyleigh Anderson, Madison Jennings, Carley Rogers and Brooke Vincent.

The four journalism students attended the Melissa invitational UIL meet Feb 1. The competitors came back with five medals

“This is one of the strongest teams I have ever had,” UIL Coach Mrs. Casi Thedford said. “I think they have potential to make it to state.”

Vincent placed first in New Writing, Jennings placed second in News Writing and fifth in Feature Writing, Anderson placed third in Feature Writing and Rogers place third in Editorial Writing.

“Winning first gives me a different outlook on UIL,” Vincent said. “It’s a good start to moving on.”

The girls will compete in one more invitational before attending the District meet March 29 in hopes of moving on to Regionals.

“I am excited for district,” Anderson said. “I truly hope we can all make it to regionals. It will be a fun trip for us all. Write or die, right?”

OMG! Hi. I’m Kyleigh Anderson, your Sports Editor. LOL. I’m a varsity cheerleader. GO RAIDERS! I’m like totally in love with writing, but only journalism and especially sports. I’m an obnoxious and clumsy blonde, obvi as you can totally tell in my pic. Anyway, I’ve been a part of journalism with Mrs.Thedford for four years. She’s my fav. So is the color pink. Yeah. So, my friends and my family are my world. Especially my baby brothers, Coleton and Caden. OH! And my boyfriend Brady. I’m all about school spirit. I talk really loud, fast and of course a lot. I’m not one to sit still and I’m always up to do something totally out of the ordinary. You’ll fall in love with my pretty face easily, so watch out. I mean, who doesn’t love your typical blonde cheerleader? LOL. On a serious note… I’m not at all your stereotypical blonde cheerleader. I’d love to attend Baylor University to study, as well as major in communications or event planning. I aspire to make a mark in this world and leave a legacy behind. I’ll always follow my arrow wherever it points. I’m an active member of the class of 2015 and huge on Raider Nation. Friday Night Lights are what I look forward to every week and they will always be a part of my life. Living for our fallen Raiders Nahum, Andy, and Ivan. The quote “It’s a great day to be alive and a great day to be a Raider” exemplifies my life.
