Local Court Reporting Students Shine in National Speed Typing Program

The National Court Reporters Association (NCRA) has introduced the Student Fast Lane program. This initiative recognizes court reporting students who have achieved typing speeds of 150, 160, 180, 200, and 225 words per minute (wpm). The program aims to highlight these accomplishments and motivate students to enhance their skills.

NCRA has contacted court reporting educational programs nationwide, encouraging them to join this initiative. Participation allows educational institutions to have their students' achievements featured in NCRA's communications, such as the 'Up-to-Speed' newsletter. Students whose achievements are overlooked should inform their programs to ensure inclusion in future communications.

The announcement acknowledges several students who have reached notable speed milestones. For example, at the 150 wpm level, Taylor Elstrom from University Place, Washington, and Lana Parkinson from Lena, Illinois, are mentioned. At the 160 wpm level, the list includes Brandy Roberts from Washington, Utah, and Staci Gauny from Liberty Hill, Texas.

At the 180 wpm level, students like Chasity Bussey from Niantic, Connecticut, and Thea Popko from Jersey City, New Jersey, are recognized. In the 200 wpm category, Breanna Rolen from Austin, Texas, and Bethany Streetman from Corinth, Mississippi, are noted. The highest category, 225 wpm, includes achievers such as Grace Burke from Staunton, Illinois, and Rachel Specksgoor from Ontario, New York.
