<p>so…</p>
<p>my friend won two speech state championship titles this year.</p>
<p>i am getting the title of varsity soccer captain next year.</p>
<p>what is more impressive?</p>
<p>why?</p>
<p>(this is out of curiousity, fueled by my ambitiousness to see whos better. im too competetive for my own good)</p>
<p>wow some friend u are</p>
<p>^ he’s not really my “friend” per se. we are friends through rivalry more than any thing else.</p>
<p>we are both competing wildly against each other</p>
<p>captain is a leadership position. </p>
<p>Two time runner up state champ in speech sounds impressive. I didn’t know there was a such thing as speech championship, must have something to do with debate. </p>
<p>Since I play soccer I say you win, but I’m not an admissions officer.</p>
<p>This is utter nonsense. Who cares?</p>
<p>dank08, he’s no runner up. he’s THE state champ for two categories</p>
<p>oOo, sorry, I thought I read in another post that he got second place.</p>
<p>Seriously, just hope you both get into the school. Or you can always trip him down the stairs.</p>
<p>Haha, that kid’s state championships trump your varsity captain status. Perhaps if you were an all-state/all-american caliber player, or your high school’s team were a perenially state-competitive team, you’d be able to make a case for yourself. Otherwise, no dice.</p>
<p>I think it depends on what’s more needed to balance out an application. State champion in anything is pretty impressive, so I would vote for that. But Varsity captian is noting shy of great either.</p>
<p>varsity captian is a good leadership, but think about it: every school with a soccer team will have a captain (sometimes more than one).</p>
<p>But there is only one national championship. But, if u are good enough to get recruited then yea, u “beat” him. but if not, he “beat” u. lol</p>
<p>I say, that type of competition is unhealthy and unnecessary. Who cares? Worry about your own life, not the life of some guy. It’s not one big competition.</p>
<p>How can you win two state titles in Speech and Debate? In my state and a few others I know of, you can only compete in one event at the State Tournament. Haha your friend must be crazy!!!</p>
<p>id say the speech thing is kinda more prestigious… but the captain thing is still quite good
chyeeeeaa</p>
<p>no one cares about soccer anyway… Its much more important to have great debate skills than to kick a ball around</p>
<p>Nunca!!!^</p>
<p>no one cares about soccer anyway— Its much more important to have great debate skills than to kick a ball around
—paulfoerster,u just can’t conclude like that (for any game I’d say) Look, for debate, yeah it takes skills, but yet, if u look at it, which one does take more time and energy?!I’m passionate abt both of those. And thru my experience I must conclude, playing a games esp (the ones which are physical==soccer, football, basketball etc) ARE cared, atleast I do. Abt, which one look presitgious, well, tough to decide, but to me, the debate seems a bit more impressive since ‘they’ r most likely to get a lot of varsity soccer captains but not really a lot of state debate champions.</p>
<p>the question is a little esoteric, but what are we all here for, anyway? I’d have to go with the speaking champion on this one.</p>
<p>Varsity Captain shows commitment and leadership, choose captain. Why can’t you choose both? That’d prove far more interesting.</p>
<p>PS: By, the way, I told you guys, the PSAT thread got deleted and some posters were penalized. :)</p>
<p>I used to see this on shirts during the summer.</p>
<p>“Snitches get stitches.”</p>
<p>Both awards are prestigious, just keep working and try and get all area to really get the edge.</p>
<p>I was captain of my varsity soccer team for 3 years…</p>
<p>It really depends on how good your soccer team is, I guess. Winning state in speech is pretty cool.</p>
