Earlier this morning, we celebrated a historic moment for WKU Forensics with the opening of our new home in the Tim and Sarah Ford Fieldhouse.

This space honors the incredible legacy of our program, one built over generations of students, coaches, and alumni, and marks an exciting new chapter for our team. For the first time, we have a place to call our own, where we can train, collaborate, and continue pursuing excellence together.

We are so grateful to everyone who made this possible. We cannot wait for our alumni to return and see it and for future Hilltoppers to step inside and become part of this legacy.
