Middle School Forensics Team Competes: Annabella Andiorio a Finalist

The Ranney Middle School Forensic Team participated in the annual Rumson Country Day School Forensic Festival on November 15. Ten team members competed and one team member received recognition as a finalist: Annabella Andiorio ’21 (Colts Neck) in the category of Humorous Interpretation. In addition to Ranney School and Rumson Country Day School, the competition also included students from Oak Hill Academy and Ocean Township Intermediate School.

The students, along with their Ranney teachers/coaches Mr. John Doyle, Mrs. Marie LaRocca and Mrs. Lilly Torrente, participated in two rounds of forensic competitions. Students performed their selections for independent judges in their assigned category. Finalists were featured in a closing performance for their peers, family and friends.

Included in the judge’s corner for the second year in a row was Ranney alum Grace Lyttle ’06, who was happy to be a part of the festival and to meet up once again with her former teachers and forensic coaches.
