Forensics and Debate Finish Another Successful Season
From Seattle to Pensacola, the Sterling College Forensics and Debate teams made their presence known as they competed nationwide during the 2007-2008 season. Following in the footsteps of the previous year’s successful season, the team faced the challenge of not only matching their previous success but maintaining excellence throughout the entire season.
Earning more than 150 individual trophies and eight team competition awards, the SC Forensics team dominated the Forensics realm. With various levels of success during the year, the season culminated at the American Forensics Association National Individual Events tournament held at the University of Texas – Austin. To be invited to this event, students must have placed in the top three competitors at least twice during the season. Students qualifying for the competition included Jana Miller, Lyons, Kan., Taylor Libby, Ellinwood, Kan., Andrew Hogan, Lyons, Kan., JD Smith, Lyons, Kan., and Lauren Rivard, Hutchinson, Kan. Kansas State University and Bethel College were the only other schools from Kansas that were invited. JD Smith placed in the top 40 in extemporaneous speaking out of 240 competitors.
On the novice level of forensics, Sterling’s team was able to capture the overall sweepstakes title for schools with small entries at the Pensacola, FL tournament held during spring break. Those making up the National Championship team included Taylor Libby, Charlisa Bailey, Cedar Hill, Tex., and Sarah Cibolski, Concordia, Kan. Libby was named the national champion in Impromptu Speaking. This is the second year a Sterling student has won this title. Libby also placed 3rd in Impromptu Sales and 4th in Persuasive Speaking.
“Out of the 75 first year forensicators in that event…it was really amazing to see that I could win against students from across the country,” Libby said.
In the Debate realm, the Sterling team was ranked in the top 30 in the all-inclusive nationwide ranking system for most of the year by advancing to elimination rounds at each of the tournaments that Sterling attended. Two students, Emily Graham and JD Smith, earned the honor to represent Sterling by traveling to the University of Puget Sound, Tacoma, Wash., where the National Parliamentary Tournament of Excellence, an exclusive competition that only includes the top 54 schools in the nation, was held.
“It was a shining moment to see SC invited to the National Parliamentary Tournament of Excellence. SC has never received such an honor and was the smallest school to be afforded the honor,” Ken Troyer, coach and director of debate and forensics, said.
Additionally, the Debate team was one of two Kansas schools that attended the NPDA national tournament at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. The duo team of Graham and Smith were again sent to represent Sterling.
This past month, Sterling College, along with Kansas Wesleyan University, hosted a high school debate camp where several members of the SC team served as lab leaders under the direction of Ken Troyer.
Religion Professor Publishes Third Book
Dr. Craig A. Smith, professor of Biblical studies and chair of the religion and philosophy department at Sterling College, has published his third book titled, At the Cross, At the Crossroads: Loving our Enemies in the 21st Century.
“Basically it’s trying to take a holistic approach of loving our enemies,” Smith said, “looking at it in terms of getting a biblical, historical, theological and psychological perspective on it. The goal is to try to see how we’ve looked at our enemies in the past and see where we can make some [improvements].”
Smith uses the text from Matthew 5:43-48 where Jesus commands us to “Love our enemies and pray for those that persecute you” and juxtaposes it with the world’s current political and ethical issues.
Soon after 9-11, Smith was approached by the Avnvil Journal, of which he is a member, and asked for a new book topic. With the issue of loving our enemies being so pertinent today, Smith jumped at the opportunity to write the book and address issues such as how the church should relate to Muslims.
The book is a combined effort of several writers including Sterling’s pro-rata professor, Tom Bronleewe, who wrote a chapter titled, “Loving Our Enemies: Two Military Perspectives.” Smith wrote four of the articles in the book, but was ultimately responsible for the editing of the contributing authors work. Smith purposely let his fellow writers keep their unique thoughts to bring out different positions and explore more than one point of view.
“I think it’s an important topic,” Smith said. “At the end of the day, what I wrote for my dissertation probably isn’t going to change anyone’s life, but this one has immediate implications on our living…I’m not sure we like things that confront us at our core. We need to wake up.”
Smith was also a finalist for the Regional Scholar’s Award presented by the Society of Biblical Literature. His paper was titled “The Development of Style (from the fifth century BC to the second century AD) and the Consequences of Understanding the Style of the New Testament.” In this article he traced through extant rhetorical handbooks to show how writing style has developed. In contrast to many scholars, he was able to show that many part of the New Testament employ a sophisticated style in order to make its message more persuasive and dynamic for the reader.
Dillard named Region IV coach of the year
This honor
was voted on by the coaches of the region, and was given during the Hall of
Fame luncheon at the NAIA national track meet in
Dillard is in his fourth year as head coach of the Warriors. During that time he has built the roster from 10 athletes in 2004 to a team of 35 this past season.
He has coached 24 All-Conference performances in track, including five KCAC individual champions, as well as six NAIA national qualifiers and one NAIA All-American.
Dillard said he was surprised and honored by the award, and hopes to continue to build on the successes he has had thus far.
Natalie Gordon finishes third at NAIA National Track Meet
Senior Natalie Gordon finished her track career with a third place finish in the 400-meter hurdles at the NAIA National Track Championships held in Edwardsville, Ill.
Gordon entered the event ranked 13th overall with a time of 63.85. She ran a personal best time of 62.77 in the quarterfinals and a 62.94 in semifinals. In the finals she set another school record and another personal best with a time of 62.08 good enough for a third place finish.
“ I was really surprised to finish so high,” said Gordon. "When I was getting into my blocks for the finals I just prayed God, I didn’t
really expect to get this far, so I guess whatever we do from here is just
bonus”.
Gordon finishes her chapter as one of the elite competitors in Sterling track history.
Sophomore Chris Morr also made the trip to nationals and came home with a 13th place finish in the 110 High Hurdles.
