The Regional journalism contest, put on by the Kansas Scholastic Press Association, will be Feb. 23 at Emporia State University in the student union. Eleven students from news website and yearbook will be competing to go to State Journalism.

“I’m looking forward to Regionals to see if I can improve from last year and make it to State again,” senior Jessica Mies said.

Last year, 11 students competed at Regionals, and six competed at State. Sophomore Makenna Beesley received honorable mention in Sports News Writing.
