Yesterday we competed at the Weber State University Autotech Competition at WSU. My team consisted of Brayden Amott, Ashton Atkin, Luke Kruckenberg and Ryker Goff. The first round of the contest consisted of table top stations and general automotive knowledge assessments. The top 2 students from the top 10 schools teamed up to move on to the hands on portion of the competition, and the top performers from the remaining schools were teamed with a student from another school for the alternate contest in the same hands on format. The Hands on portion consisted of a general vehicle inspection, diagnostics and the ability to follow and write a repair order documenting any problems found and repairs that were made to correct the vehicle. Ashton moved on to the alternate round finishing 2nd in that contest with his teammate from Copper Hills. Ashton won some tools and various other prizes. It was a long exhausting day but I am proud of these guys for their commitment and representing the Ridge!
