POWELL, Wyo. - The Northwest College Forensics Team started its season by scoring first among community colleges and second overall at a swing tournament in Colorado Springs hosted by the United States Air Force Academy and University of Utah.

Twenty-three teams competed at the Sept. 30-Oct. 2 doubleheader, with the University of Houston claiming the overall championship, followed by NWC.
