Breaking News: Poetry Out Loud Run-Off to be Held

Niles West held its annual Poetry Out Loud competition and this year, the unbelievable happened. For the first time in Niles West history, there was a seven-way tie for first place.

“We’ve never had so many great students compete,” said English teacher Sharon Swanson.

On Tuesday, Feb. 3rd, a run-off will be held to determine the overall winner.

“We’ve never had a second round ever,” Swanson said.

The students advancing to the second round consist of:

Seniors Matt Small and Jordan Goldberg

Junior Thea Gonzalez

Sophomores Asma Akram, Weronika Jozwiak, Claire Embil, and Chester Beck.

“It’s an honor to be able to compete, and I look forward to [the run-off],” Beck said.
