The reflection of excellence on the University is powerful and rewarding.　 A total of 25 universities were present, including the following powerhouses:　 Western Kentucky University, George Mason University, and Miami University of Ohio.　 Even under pressure, TSU’s Forensics Team shined through.　 Attached is a full report of our success.　

　

Last year at the same tournament we won a total of 27 awards.　 This increase is a direct result of our additional coaching staff, Ms. Emily Kofoed and Mr. Clarence Ball.　 Their time, attention and efforts are making a huge difference.
