In addition to those finishes, Georgia Morrell and Stevie Winer were named second alternates in Duo. Stevie Winer was second alternate in Humor, and Tyler Davis was third alternate in U.S. Extemporaneous Speaking.

Johnson also qualified in U.S. Extemporaneous Speaking and Lincoln-Douglas debate, while Swett qualified in Program Oral Interpretation and U.S. Extemporaneous Speaking. Because the NSDA allows competitors to enter only one main event at the national tournament, Johnson and Swett vacated those additional qualifying spots in favor of their selected events.

As a team, Green River placed first in Congress Sweepstakes, first in Speech Sweepstakes and first in Overall Sweepstakes at the district tournament.
