The Wisconsin Forensics Coaches' Association (WFCA) announces the champions of the 2021 WFCA State Tournament. The event was held virtually the week ending April 10. Students submitted videos of their performances to be critiqued and ranked in three preliminary rounds. The top entries in categories with 50 or more entries advanced to quarterfinals, and all other events had students advancing directly to semifinals before the final 6 advanced to the final round.
