Western Kentucky University (WKU) is a college quizbowl team located in Bowling Green, KY. WKU's Academic Competition Club was unofficially founded in November 2009 by Nick Conder, Brian Riddle, and Shawna Felkins. The club has slowly grown over the last few seasons, and the addition of high school recruits (some dual-enrolled students from Gatton) has enhanced the team's performance in recent years.

Tournaments Hosted
WKU hosts several high school tournaments a year, with the centerpiece usually being the fall WKU Hilltopper Invitational.
Current Players
The WKU team also uses Gatton Academy students in college tournaments, due to the fact that the Gatton educational program consists of their students taking a full course load of WKU classes alongside regular college students. Some of these players play for WKU on a regular basis, while others prefer high school quizbowl and only appear from time to time.
