Iowa Swing
January 24-25, 2009
Following our successful showing at the 10th annual Hell Froze Over Swing, the Gustavus Forensics team again headed south, this time to Iowa for the Iowa swing, hosted jointly by the University of Northern Illinois and Wartburg College. Boasting competition from Bradley University, Illinois State University, the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire, and more. On the first day, Gustavus took third place to Illinois State and Bradley, while on the second day, we were able to best Bradley to earn second place. Not only did we get plenty of students into finals, but when in finals, we frequently placed in the top half in many rounds. All in all, it was another very successful showing!
