All-Americans
Two members of Boise State’s
intercollegiate debate and speech have been named to the Pi Kappa
Delta national honorary All-American team. In addition, the Boise
State team finished second at the 2007 Pi Kappa Delta National
Forensics Tournament at Central Michigan University in Mount
Pleasant, Mich., March 7-10. The runner-up finish marks the fifth
consecutive time the Talkin’ Broncos have finished in the top five
at the biennial national tournament; they went into the tournament
as the defending champions.
Senior Katy Jibben, a communication
education major from Boise, and senior Wayne Rysavy,
a communication major from Ramstein, Germany, were among 10
undergraduates from across the United States honored as
All-Americans at the Pi Kappa Delta national convention.
All-American selections are based on excellence in debate and speech
competition, academic achievement and volunteer service. Jibben is
captain of Boise State’s individual events team and Rysavy is
captain of Boise State’s debate team. Both were named to the
Northwest Forensic Conference’s 2006-07 All-Conference team earlier
this year. They are Boise State’s fifth and sixth All-Americans,
joining Jaime (Thompson) Bott (1999), Ken Rock (2003), Lacey

At the national tournament, Boise State won 22
individual awards and advanced three debate teams to the tournament
semi-finals, but could not defend the national championship they won
in 2005. Southwest Baptist University (Mo.) edged the Broncos to
claim the national championship, a title SBU has held for 18 of the
past 26 years. Truman State University (Mo.) finished third, Webster
University of St. Louis placed fourth, West Chester University
(Penn.) was fifth and host Central Michigan was sixth in the field
of 60 colleges and universities from 27 states.
The national tournament recognizes outstanding
performances with “Superior” awards, presented to the top 10 percent
of competitors in an event, and “Excellent” awards, given to those
in the next 20 percent. Earning Superior awards for Boise State were
Ben Bishop (sophomore, Boise) in Informative
Speaking, Barton Jackson (senior, Eagle) in
Impromptu Speaking, Katy Jibben (senior, Boise) in
Informative Speaking, and Sean Watson (senior,
Kimberly) in Extemporaneous Speaking. Excellent awards went to

Journalism.
Two Boise State teams appeared in national final rounds
of debate and received Superior awards. In the open division of
Parliamentary Debate, Jackson & Judy finished
second on a 2-1 decision to Carson-Newman University (Tenn.). In the
novice division of Parliamentary Debate, Jibben and Watson
were second on a 2-1 decision to Cameron University (Okla.). Boise
State’s Ernest Dunlap (freshman, Kuna) and
Evan Meriwether (freshman, Boise) lost a 2-1 decision to
University of the Cumberlands (Ky.) in the junior division semifinal
round and finished third.
In the Legislative Debate division, Watson
was honored as one of four Outstanding Legislators and received a
Superior Award. Jackson and Judy
both received Excellent awards.
Boise State received three team Superior awards, one in
Individual Events sweepstakes, in which they placed fourth overall,
one in Debate Sweepstakes, in which they placed second overall, and
one for Overall Sweepstakes.
The Pi Kappa Delta National Tournament is the oldest
collegiate debate and speech tournament in existence. Held every two
years since1917, it is the largest comprehensive forensics
tournament held in the United States. Boise State has had eight
top-10 finishes at the national tournament since becoming a Pi Kappa

Team
Six
members of the Boise State University debate and speech team were named to

Barton Jackson (senior, Eagle).
• NFC Division I Second Team: Regan Charlton (freshman,
Inkom), Chad Judy (junior, Idaho Falls), Wayne Rysavy
(senior, Ramstein, Germany) and Sean Watson (sophomore,

division events in the region. Final Round honorees included: Jibben,
platform speaking (memorized) and persuasive speaking; Judy, oral
interpretation; Jackson, impromptu speaking; Rysavy and

reunite and travel to Corvallis, Ore., for the Feb. 8-12 Earl Wells Memorial
