KSU graduate student Elijah Tevis won first place in the Best Sports Story category for his story on the Thorobrette basketball team’s 10-game winning streak last year.

Maya Brown, opinion editor of the Thorobred News, won second place in the Best Column category for a series of three columns she wrote on a range of topics.
