April 24th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

Atlantic FFA Adviser Eric Miller reports the Iowa FFA Public Speaking Leadership Event was held at Iowa State University, Ames, on Monday, April 23rd, 2018. Twelve individuals, including Emily Saeugling, of Atlantic, participated in this year’s Career Development Event (CDE). Saeugling placed first (Gold) in the individual competition during the event. The second place individual for the event was Brookelyn Harned from the West Liberty FFA Chapter.

Miller says the event is designed to develop rural and agricultural leadership, to provide for member participation in agricultural public speaking activities and to stimulate interest along such lines. The prepared public speaking event requires participants to write and deliver a six-to-eight minute speech in front of a panel of judges. Scoring is based on the written manuscript, the delivery of the speech and the answers to questions. The Iowa FFA Public Speaking CDE was made possible with support from GROWMARK and the 2003-2004 Iowa FFA State Officers through the Iowa FFA Foundation.

Atlantic Head Coach Ed DenBeste: “Beautiful day today.  First nice day of the year.  No wind and warm.  Ben has continued his great play.  Good to see him shoot even today.  Matt started with a three over but finished even par after that to shoot +3.  Both guys below 40 is good at Harlan.  Great to see Mason shoot 45.  Nice score for him with one bad hole.  Austin, Drey, and Braden had some struggles but also some good holes.  Good experience for them to play an away course.  I know they will continue to work on their games.  This was a good win for us while missing several of our golfers tonight.  Hope we can keep this up for tomorrow’s match.  We were missing a few tonight with sickness and FFA convention.  Nice to see several others step up today in their absence.”
