WKU Forensics took first place in Varsity Lincoln-Douglas Debate at the Steve Hunt Classic hosted by Lewis & Clark College on October 10-11.
Sophomore Anderson Hendrix of Houston, the sole competitor from WKU, swept the field winning key rounds against Florida State University, California State University-Sacramento and the home team Lewis & Clark. Hendrix also took third speaker.
Six universities took part in the contest, with teams representing schools from both coasts.
“It was a great opportunity for Anderson to compete at his first college Lincoln-Douglas tournament,” Director of Debate Chad Meadows said. "Getting a win was a great confidence boost.”
Opening its individual events season, WKU Forensics will next compete at the University of Alabama’s Crimson Classic.
