## Resource

Dr. Jennifer Rukstad is joined by Alex Huck and Andrew Kauffman on the MSHSAA All-Access Podcast to recap the 2026 Speech & Debate Championships held April 24–25 at Missouri State University in Springfield. They review Class 1 results (Pembroke Hill wins debate with 24 points; Bolivar wins speech with 52 points; Bolivar edges Pembroke Hill 68–67 in combined sweeps) and Class 2 results (Jefferson City dominates speech with 72 points; Rock Bridge wins debate 26–24 over Lee’s Summit North; Jefferson City is the overall combined sweeps leader). They explain why combined sweepstakes points are calculated for championship-factor classification even though the community does not publicly award an overall sweeps champion, and highlight notable individual achievements, program milestones, Coach of the Year Jordan Hart, and Dr. Eric Morris receiving the Mal Mayse Distinguished Service Award.
