The St. Paul ‘Soap Boxing’ Slam team has held onto their championship title by once again taking first place at the National Poetry Slam.

The 21st annual National Poetry Slam (NPS) was held in Saint Paul, Minnesota from August 3rd through 7th 2010.

The Soap Boxing team took first place last year in West Palm Beach, Florida, against 67 other teams from around North America.

Team members Khary (6 is 9) Jackson, Shane Hawley, Kyle (Guante) Myhre, Sierra DeMulder and Sam Cook had been practicing up to 16 hours a week, since the team was selected in May, coached by St Paul SlamMaster Matthew Rucker. All that hard work paid off.

On behalf of the St. Paul Slam team, I would like to personally thank everyone who came out to support us, volunteer, perform, listen, and make this the best National Poetry Slam ever.

Cheers,
