Super Saturday was held on January 25th. It is a sectional-level contest, meaning every chapter in the Merced-Mariposa section was eligible to compete. With contests like English Creed, Spanish Creed, Impromptu, Extemporaneous, Job Interview, and Prepared Speaking, this is a meaningful way to gain public speaking abilities, fast thinking, and learn more about agriculture.

 The participants for Creed were Luke Avila, Dominic Alves, Jacqueline Chavez, and Kaylah Bedford. Congratulations to all those who participated. For the Spanish Creed, Gustine FFA was represented by Carlos Rangel, Elizabeth Meza, and Emely Castaneda Diaz.  Great job to Carlos Rangal as he placed 1st in the section. Impromptu had four contestants, Mark Silveira, Carson Bell, Kylee Lopes, and Juliana Martinez. Congratulations to Carson Bell for placing 2nd and Juliana Martinez for placing 3rd in Impromptu speaking. They will move on to the regional competition. Extemporaneous had Maddeline Villnow as a participant. Congratulations to her for competing in this competition. The job interview included Alina Camacho, Emilia Galindo, Justin Lopes, and Baylor Bloom. A huge congratulations to Alina Camacho as she placed 5th and Baylor Bloom who placed 1st. Baylor will move on to the regional competition. The last competition that Gustine FFA members participated in was Prepared Speaking. Gwendolyn Barcelos, Oscar Vergara, and Isabella Cortez did an amazing job. Oscar Vergara placed 3rd overall and Isabella Cortez placed 2nd. They will both be moving onto the regional level.

The regional contest will be held on March 7th. Wish the Gustine FFA members good luck as they continue their journey in their chosen speaking competition. All participants learn the importance of agriculture knowledge and the use of critical thinking to present logical responses to questions revolving around agriculture. Good luck FFA members!
