Prior to the 2013-2014 season, the Virginia High School League (VHSL) adopted a six division realignment and this led to six state champions being crowned at this year’s VHSL state tournament instead of three, which was the norm for the last few years. Two extempers repeated as state champions at the tournament with Josh Wartel of Lake Braddock Secondary School, the winner of 3A extemp last season, winning the 6A category and Sierra Weaver of Madison County High School, the winner of A extemp last year, winning the 2A category. Other category winners included Sean Wells of Warwick High School in 5A, Akash Raje of Midlothian High School in 4A, Tanya Hoatson of Lafayette High School in 3A, and Stephen Woolwine of Bland/Rocky Gap High School in A.
Fifteen extempers earned an automatic qualification to the Extemporaneous Speaking Tournament of Champions (TOC) at Northwestern University by virtue of making the final round in their respective class. They are indicated in italics below.
