Talking Broncos Named Division I Gold Medal Program by Northwest Forensics Conference

Boise State University’s speech and debate program was recently named a Division I gold medal program by the Northwest Forensics Conference. The award was tabulated by a compilation of points accrued in overall team performance at three designated NFC tournaments.

“We are so proud of our team,” said Katy Jibben, assistant director of forensics at Boise State. “Everyone has worked incredibly hard over the course of several tournaments, and being designated a Gold Medal Program is a direct result of their dedication, effort, and enthusiasm for our program.”

Team member Regan Charlton (Junior, Inkom) took second place in the coach’s commemorative overall open division speaker standings – an impressive achievement given that every open division competitor in the three designated tournaments is automatically entered into the standings based upon their performance.

The Northwest Forensics Conference is an association of the 42 colleges and universities in the Northwest region that compete in intercollegiate forensics.
