This marks the first time in recent history that a student from North Carolina State University has been named a finalist for a national writing award. Leonard recently accepted a job in Georgia as a sports reporter. The story, “1973 a season of ‘forgotten’ success: Team went 27-0, but was ineligible to compete in the NCAA Tournament because of violations” appeared in the Nov. 15 special edition of the Technician.

Winners will be announced for the first time at the National College Media Convention Oct. 29-Nov. 2 in Kansas City.
