Facebook Pixel WKU Forensics | Awards Archive | Western Kentucky University


These archives of awards are not exhaustive, but merely a highlight of major awards. Additionally, while we record below all major early awards, later awards records become much more selective. Prior to the 1990s, all known state and national awards are recorded here. After 1989, for the state tournament only the top three placements are recorded here. By the late 1990s the national tournaments only reflect semifinalists and up. And the international tournament only reflects finalists. A special thanks to our fellow NFA schools, who have helped construct NFA's Past Results online database, which was used to verify some of the results noted here. That information can be found at the following URL: http://www.nationalforensics.org/competition/past-results.
